Perhaps the most interesting is a sketch of the birds of Pike's Peak, Colo., appearing in the July issue. The June number of The Land Xnnshine contains some exquisite huln- mingbird pictures, together with an in- teresting article by Elizabeth and Jos- eph Grinnell. Bird-Late for June is unusually in- teresting. Robert Ridgway compares the song birds of America with those of Europe in an able article, and shows conclusively that we possess as brilliant, if not superior, songsters as do the Brit- ish Isles. Win. I,. Bailey illustrates the stages of development of the King- fisher from those just hatched to the bird about to fly, his observations form- ing a most interesting article. The H?s/ern Ornitho/o'[s/ for May-- June is the best number of this publica- tion'yet issued, and contains as frontis- piece a full page cut of one o? its assoc- iate editors,--Carl Fritz Henning. Some remarkably good photographs of young birds are shown and the usual iuteresting articles fill out the nuluber. The May numl)er of the O.VSr O, is the last received previous to going to press. The serial article by Paul Bartsch en- titled "Birds of the Road," whiel? has thus far run throngh five issues of the magazine, is a really charming essay and is without dout)t the popular feat- ure of the O.?ro'. Mr. Bartsch writes in an easy, gracetiff vein and exhibits the true enthusiasm of a nature-lover. RoswE?,?, S.
