Illustrated. Cloth. Price, $ 1.50.
With 21 Full-page Illustrations and smaller cuts in the text
Decorated cover.
A series of pages in which an enthusiastic student of entomological science describes, often in the words of, always with the intensely interesting air of, the original observer,—changes such as may often be seen in an insect's form, and which mark the progress of its life. He shows how very wide a field of interesting facts is in reach of any one who has the patience to collect these little creatures. The work is not a text-book, but can be used as supplementary reading. Teachers who may care to complete their school or private libraries by an exhaustive treatment of entomology will find the most complete and up-to-date work of the kind in Dr. Packard's elaborate text-book, to be issued shortly. This volume will serve as a somewhat popular introduction to the subject.

"The clear text, beautiful illustrations, strong binding, and, most important of all, the very excellent arrangement of the subject matter make it an invaluable adjunct to the working materials of a busy teacher. Aside from its value as a thoroughly up-to-date text-book, it is equally indispensable to the busy teacher as a reference book on account of the clear, concise, and unique manner of the arrangement of its contents."

"AN IDEAL BOOK ON NATURE STUDY."
CITIZEN BIRD.
Scenes from Bird Life in Plain English for Beginners. By MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT and ELLIOTT COUES. With One Hundred and Eleven Illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50,
This first issue of The Heart of Nature Series—Citizen Bird—is in every way a remarkable book. It is the story of the Bird-People told for the House-People, especially the young House-People, being dedicated "To All Boys and Girls who Love Birds and Wish to Protect Them."
It is not a mere sympathetic plea for protection. It shows how Citizen Bird "works for his own living as well as ours, pays his rent and taxes, and gives free concerts daily"; is scientifically accurate in description of anatomy, dress, and habits; and is illustrated by over one hundred engravings in half tone, together with descriptive diagrams, and has a valuable index of some one hundred and fifty-four American birds.
It is a question when one becomes too old to enjoy such a delightful and entertaining book.
TOMMY-ANNE
AND
THE THREE HEARTS.
By MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT. With many Illustrations by Albert D. Blashfield. 12mo, Cloth, Colored Edges, $1.50.
"This book is calculated to interest children in nature, and grown folks, too, will find themselves catching the author's enthusiasm. As for Tommy-Anne herself, she is bound to make friends wherever she is known. The more of such books as these, the better for the children. One Tommy-Anne is worth a whole shelf of the average juvenile literature." —Critic.
"Her book is altogether out of the commonplace. It will be immensely entertaining to all children who have a touch of imagination, and it is instructive and attractive to older readers
