Abstract

THE United States National Museum has issued a number of bulletins dealing with the life-histories of various North American birds. The latest addition to the series covers the nuthatches, wrens, thrashers and their allies, and is a painstaking work. Mr. Burt, the author, says that he has endeavoured to give as full a life-history as possible of the best-known sub-species of each species, and has written more briefly of the related sub-species, by this method avoiding repetition and duplication. He has amassed much information which is presented in a clear and readable manner, the volume being illustrated by a large number of photographs, mostly excellent ones, the last, of a sage thrasher, being a particularly successful picture.
