NATURE lovers will welcome Neville W.
Cayley’s book. “What Bird Is That?”
It is a guide to the many birds of Aus tralia and is the most comprehensive and in formative bird-book published in Australia — if not in the world. It will remain for per haps hundreds of years as one of the stan dard works of its kind.
Every known bird in Australia is dealt with and each one is admirably illustrated in the colour plates. The birds are grouped for the most part according to their habits, and information is given concerning the distri bution of the various species, their nests, eggs, etc. The fine colour reproductions of the drawings of the birds have eliminated the necessity for colour descriptions of the plum age.
“What Bird is That?” is published by Messrs. Angus and Robertson, The price is 12/6.
