THE BUTTERFLY BOOK

By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND

This book on American butterflies, by Dr. W. J. Holland, has introduced thousands of readers to the delightful study of butterflies and their development. Its 48 color plates are the best which have been produced by the three-color process. In these and the text cuts are shown more than five hundred different species. Dr. Holland’s collection of these insects is the best in the United States, barring none, and he has throughout used his own specimens in preparing the plates. Chapters showing how to collect and preserve butterflies add greatly to the value of the book. It contains 382 text pages, 10 pages of index.

Attractively bound in green cloth, decorated in gold. Size of volume 7 × 10.

THE MOTH BOOK

By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND

This book serves as an introduction to the study of moths, but the student who has fully mastered the contents is as far advanced in his studies as are many men who were a few years ago regarded as eminent specialists. It is the standard reference book of North America on the subject.

Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, is one of the leading entomologists of the country and has had more experience in mounting and artistically posing moths and butterflies than any other living man.

There are 1,500 figures in the color plates and 300 text cuts illustrating 1,800 species of the moths of North America. This volume is the most complete on the subject which has thus far appeared, and contains 479 pages. Size 7 × 10.

THE BIRD BOOK

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

Mr. Reed’s new bird book is the most complete guide he has yet made. Unlike the pocket guides which though ideal for field work, cannot because of their size give all the details the student wishes, this book is a whole reference library about birds and their haunts. It contains illustrations in colors of more than seven hundred birds of all varieties from all parts of the country which show the birds more than an inch in height so that every detail of real life is faithfully reproduced. In addition to these illustrations in color there are many hundreds more showing the eggs in life size, and numerous unusual photographs of birds in flight and in their natural haunts.

=More than 700 illustrations in color and many unusual Bird Photographs. Net, $3.00=

THE TREE GUIDE

By JULIA ELLEN ROGERS Author of “The Tree Book”

The Tree Guide is uniform in style and size with the well known pocket Bird Guides which have become so universally popular. It contains illustrations and descriptions of the trees of the country. The descriptions include the range, the classification, the distinctive features such as flowers, leaves, fruit, etc., and all other marks that lead to an easy identification of the tree. An ideal volume for expert naturalist or amateur for field work or even more exhaustive study.

=32 illustrations in color; many in black and white. Cloth, net, $1.00 Leather, net, $1.25=

CAMERA STUDIES OF WILD BIRDS IN THEIR HOMES

By CHESTER A. REED, B.S.

“CAMERA STUDIES” has 250 photographs of events right in birds’ homes.

These pictures are selected from the author’s collection of over 2000 bird photographs, this being one of the best collections of pictures of free, living wild birds in existence.

Many rare and interesting poses are faithfully shown by the camera. For instance, a pair of adult Chipping Sparrows, standing on a branch by the sides of their four young, are engaged in pulling apart a large worm that was too large to be given whole.
