Abstract
THE first feeling of a reader on closing Mr. Millais's “Natural History of the Surface-feeding Ducks” will be surprise that one individual—though naturalist, sportsman and artist in one, and blessed, as the author has been from boyhood, with exceptional opportunities—should have been able single-handed to collect direct from Nature so much new and interesting information about familiar birds.
The Natural History of the British Surface-feeding Ducks.
By J. G. Millais Pp. xiv + 107. With 6 Photogravures, 41 Coloured Plates, and 25 other Illustrations. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1902.) Price 6 guineas net.
