n this most successful of Nature Books. This book makes the identification of our birds simple and positive, even to the uninitiated, through certain unique features. I. All the birds are grouped according to color, in the belief that a bird's coloring is the first and often the only characteristic noticed. II. By another classification, the birds are grouped according to their season. III. All the popular names by which a bird is known are given both in the descriptions and the index. The colored plates are the most beautiful and accurate ever given in a moderate-priced and popular book. The most successful and widely sold Nature Book yet published. BIRDS THAT HUNT AND ARE HUNTED. Life Histories of 170 Birds of Prey, Game Birds and Water-Fowls. By Neltje Blanchan. With Introduction by G. O. Shields (Coquina). 24 photographic illustrations in color. Large Quarto, size 7-3/4 x 10-3/8. Formerly published at $2.00. Our special price, $1.00. No work of its class has ever been issued that contains so much valuable information, presented with such felicity and charm. The colored plates are true to nature. By their aid alone any bird illustrated may be readily identified. Sportsmen will especially relish the twenty-four color plates which show the more important birds in characteristic poses. They are probably the most valuable and artistic pictures of the kind available to-day.

GRENFELL'S PARISH 16 Illustrations, Cloth, $1.00 net. _Outlook:_ "It is a series of sketches of Grenfell's work in Labrador. A very rare picture the author has given of a very rare man: a true story of adventure which we should like to see in the hands of every boy and of every man of whatever age who still retains anything of a boyish heroism in his soul." _N. Y. Globe_: "Mr. Duncan has given a very moving picture of the dreadfully hard life of the northern fishermen. He has included dozens of the little cameos of stories, true stories, as he vouches, full of human nature as it is exhibited in primitive conditions." _Congregationalist_: "Norman Duncan draws vivid pictures of the Labrador and the service which Dr. Grenfell has rendered to its people. It is a fascinating tale and told with real enthusiasm and charm. The unusual stage of action and the chivalrous quality of the hero
