It will be very acceptable to the numerous collectors of eggs, to many of whom the earlier work-with its nearly two thousand pages of letterpress-would be an encumbrance; there are barely three hundred pages in the present."-Athenæum, August 7th, 1897. 732 SHARP (Henry).

'Practical Wildfowling' is a useful book that will interest all persons interested in this particular branch of shooting.
