The Woodpeckers. By Mrs. Fannie Hardy Eckstorm. With five full-page colored plates and many text illustrations. Square 12mo, $1.00.
A lively, yet accurate and orderly account of the woodpecker family, treating somewhat exhaustively of five of the commonest species, and less fully of the others. The book is in a form quite certain to interest young people, and very likely to lead them to further observation and investigation. Fully illustrated with five colored pictures by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the leading American bird artist, and with cuts and diagrams in the text.
