MR. FINN, especially to Indian readers, is such a well-known writer on popular ornithology in more than one journal that the reproduction of a series of his articles in book-form can scarcely fail to be welcomed by a wide circle. And in selecting ornamental, or “fancy,” water-fowl as a subject, he has hit upon one which appeals to a large number of bird lovers, if for no other reason than the facility with which these handsome birds can be reared and kept in confinement, even when the available space is limited. Fancy Water-Fowl. By F. Finn. Pp. 45. Illustrated. (London: Feathered World Office, 1900.)
