MIXED BAG
A BEWILDERMENT OF BIRDS, by J. K. ees Rupert Hart-Davis, English price 8/-. HE author is an enthusiastic amateur ornithologist, who collects birds, but with equal zest hates egg-collectors. This book--one of his many on the subjectis a mixed bag. It tells of pre-1914 observations in England, and post-1945 expeditions in East Anglia and in Sweden. The period between the wars was spent in the Indian Civil Service (from which fact you can guess much), and in collecting in Burma and in India when off duty, or, if the circumstances permitted, when on duty: Those interested in birds will find ample instruction and some amusing anecdotes. There are also many beautiful drawings by A. M. Hughes, but the names of the birds illustrated must be deduced from the text.
