In the spring of this year we described Captain Knight's

film of the golden eagle as one of "surpassing beauty and interest." His Book of the Golden Eagle (Hodder and Stough- ton, 21s., illustrated) embodies some of the pictures and enlarges the description of his lecture, and the same words ot unqualified praise can also be extended to it. For those whd had not the luck to see the film, the next best thing is to buy the book, which describes in picturesque and intimate detail the habits and wild life of the greatest of our birds.
