AS the autumnal cunning seae on draws
nigh, a demand arises for information
concerning the best ranges for game and
Che waterways most prolific in fowl. For

road has published work entitled "a
Paradise for Gunners and Anglers" The
little volume is an exhaustive treatise on
the pamc birds Waterfowl, and fishes of
the Delaware Peninsula, their haunts,
habits and characteristics. An excellent
map of the territory, showing the location
of streams, and means OF access, and
handsome illustrations of the rarer specl-
mems of birds and fish, serve both to en-
bellish and lend interest to the book. In
formation as to tho game laws, the time
when certain game must abound, tne
procurement of guides, boats, &c, and in
fact everything which would make the
way of the sportsman clear, is furnished
in ample detail. .,-.
