It is always sad to have to review a book when the author has not lived to see the results of his devoted work in print. Such was the case in this instance. Mr. Collins died before Familiar Garden Birds of America was completed and it would seem that his companion, the President of the Linnaean Society of New York, has completed the text, although this might have been more clearly stated in the Publishers' Note.
