in spite of its pleasant-looking green cover, numerous though indifferent plates, and text cheerfully varied with italics, is in reality no more than an unduly swollen tract. It is necessary to say this at once, and with emphasis, lest the unwary buyer of bird books should add this volume to his library under the impression that he was adding a useful and chatty account of humming-birds and birds of paradise. The volume is, in fact, an example of what is known in the animal world as “aggressive mimicry.” Under the guise of a pleasing discourse upon some of the more striking among many beautiful birds, the author really provides the public with not much more than a simple attack upon the wearing of birds' plumes by ladies. We have not the least objection to Mr. Selous' views in this matter, or to the expression of them. But he might surely have found one of those numerous journals which delight in denunciatory declamation rather than in adherence to frigid fact, and into its sympathetic columns have poured his feelings of horror at feminine inhumanity. Then no one would have been deceived about the matter, as some possibly may be. Mr. Selous builds upon a minimum of zoological fact a large super structure of curiously agitated, almost hysterical, ethics. The book is, in its form, addressed to a hypothetical and female infant of tender years
