Foreign Aviary Birds. By Dr. Karl Russ. (Dean and Son.)—

This should be a useful guide to amateurs who desire to keep an aviary. It contains many hints on the management of aviaries, birds and their food, and their treatment in sickness. As a rule, the amateur is quite ignorant of the diseases of birds, and prefers to let them alone rather than run the risk of killing them. In these pages he will find much information that he will be grateful for.
