Gun Dogs. By Frank Townend Barton, M.R.C.V.S. With 46 Illustrations.

(John Long. 5s. net.)—This is a small book, illustrated with a large number of photographs, which treats of the management, breaking, handling, and feeding of dogs used in shooting, both in health and disease. The breeds to which attention is given are the various races of retriever, spaniel, setter, and pointer. Mr. Barton, who writes with the knowledge of a veterinary surgeon, has already published books of a similar nature on horses, dogs, pheasants, &c. The illustrations are good, and the text contains a large amount of practical information, and many useful hints for inexperienced owners of dogs.
