Fancy Pigeons. By James C. Lyell. (L. Upcott Gill.)—This is

a third edition of a work which has received approval from a consider- able number of interested readers. The special feature of the new issue is that coloured pictures of the priuoipal varieties have been added. This is a point of no small importance in all manuals of this kind, adding as it does so much to the utility as well as to the appearance of the work. The coloured illustrations number fifteen, and are well executed.
