Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Handbook of British Birds Although the urgent need for compression has prohibited the author from presenting this work as a complete natural history of British Birds, yet he believes that as a handy textbook for reference it has had as yet no rivals. It has been brought up to date as far as possible, every species on the British list having been included, and nearly all described, while the records Of the rarer species have been carefully collected, and in the case Of the common species a tolerably complete life-history has been given. The numbering Of the genera and species will also probably prove Of service. The length Of a bird is (unless otherwise stated) measured from the base Of bill to tip Of tail, all measure ments being in inches and hundredth-parts. The description first given is (unless expressly mentioned) that Of a bird in breeding plumage, 'but the seasonal changes, if appreciable, are added. The habitat may be taken as meaning the region inhabited during the breeding season, but the winter range Of migratory species has usually been added. If brackets enclose a describer's name they indicate that the generic name adopted is not that used by the describer.

No one has taken the pains that Mr. Seebohm took, before writing his History of British Birds, to travel into all parts of Europe, and even into Siberia, to learn something about the nesting habits of the rarer species of European birds; and, with the exception of those of Naumann and Macgillivray, there is no work so full of original observation as the above-mentioned one of Mr. Seebohm. In America there are several excellent books on the habits of birds, and the observations of Captain Bendire in his Life History of North American Birds, and those of Mr. W. H. Hudson on South American Bird-life, are amongst the most important of modern contributions to our knowledge of Natural History.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lost British Birds The species described as lost in this paper, are those which were summer residents and breeders, or inhabitants all the year round, of some part of Great Britain, but which no longer breed in this country and visit our shores only as rare stragglers, or, bi-annually, in their migrations to and from their breeding areas on the continent of Europe. In other words, if the British race be extinct the species is here regarded as lost, however abundant it may be elsewhere. Perhaps it would be safer to say if practically extinct; since I have included species of which one or two pairs are still known to breed within the kingdom. In the case of the ruff and reeve, for instance, Professor Newton is inclined to think that I have been a "little premature." Taking the word "lost" in this restricted sense, I do not think that ornithologists will find that I am very much out in my list, which I have been assisted in making by two friends, both authorities in questions of this kind - Mr. J. E. Harting, and Professor Newton himself. It is certainly difficult to know where to draw the line, and having once determined to include species that are practically extinct, like the hen-harrier and the ruff and reeve, there were others, like the osprey and sea-eagle, which it seemed unreasonable to omit. But it was necessary to draw the line somewhere, and it was thought best to leave out any species represented by at least three or four pairs that have some measure of protection afforded to them when breeding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of British Birds, Vol. 3 of 4 It is not within my province to consider the advisability of publishing under the honoured name of Yarrell a work which must necessarily be, to a great extent, rewritten but my portion of the task, once accepted, has been performed to the best of my ability. Where practicable, the original phraseology has been followed, with due modifications; the opening words of the sentences have frequently been pre served, as 'landmarks' for possessors of former Editions; and extracts from the authors and correspondents quoted by Yarrell have been retained, subject to considerations of space, relevancy, and accuracy. This work of selection and adapta tion has entailed severe labour, and, as a matter of fact, the original articles on the species added to the British list since the publication of the Third Edition, are those which have given the least trouble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of the British Empire AS something like 5000 species of birds - about half the number known to exist in the habitable globe - are to be found in the dominions of our Queen, it must be obvious that the briefest description of them could not be included within the compass of a small volume like the present one, as its size is necessarily restricted by the limits imposed upon each book in the series of the imperial library. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the present glance at a big subject will prove interesting and valuable to many people. The number of persons interested in birds is unquestion ably enormous but the proportion is probably much smaller of those who require an exhaustive treatise carried out with cosmopolitan comprehensiveness and, in any case, the expense of such a work would be a bar to a wide sale. Later on, if this epitome should secure popular favour, it will be easy to supply the demand for more. With regard to the illustrations in this volume, it should be noted that no attempt, for obvious reasons, has been made to furnish them to exact scale - the great object being to give the best available drawings but in the letterpress descriptions the size of each bird has been carefully given, and the index at the end of the volume will enable the reader to immediately find what he may be looking for, and probably all familiar, and many unfamiliar, names Will be found, modest though the proportions of the book are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of British Birds: Showing the Distribution of the Resident and Migratory Species in the British Islands With an Index to the Records of the Rarer Visitants Following upon the daily exigencies of official work, the preparation of this volume has occupied the leisure hours of many years, and as an attempt to show in one volume the precise status of every so-called British bird, distinguishing the rare and accidental visitors from the residents and annual migrants, it conveys information of a kind which is not to be found in any other work on British birds. Divided into two parts, the first portion deals with British Birds properly so called, being residents, periodical migrants, and annual visitants; the second portion includes the Rare and accidental visitants, and a special feature of the book is that in the case of every rare bird a list of occurrences is given, from the publication of the earliest records (so far as has been ascertained) down to the end of the year 1900. The reader is thereby enabled to estimate at a glance the precise nature of the claim which any given species has to be considered British. Some notion of the labour entailed may be formed when it is stated that 'the number of references in Part I. Amounts to 1500; in Part II. To 2325, and in the whole work to 3825, or there abouts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds Their Eggs: With a New Method of Identification Tms book has been written with the exclusively practi cal object of enabling persons unacquainted with British birds to identify them by their most obvious characteristics. Handbooks hitherto designed for this purpose have, by classi tying the birds according to genera and species, or by arranging them merely in alphabetical order, failed to meet this need. For it is obvious that a beginner who wishes to identify a bird he has observed for the first time, and therefore one of which he does not know the name, cannot turn up the de scription of it by the aid of an alphabetical list. Nor can he be expected to know where to turn to find it in a book wherein birds are grouped according to generic distinctions, about which as yet he knows nothing! The observations of beginners relate to broad distinctions of colour and markings, then to peculiarities in the gestures and notes of birds, and so on, and it is only by seeking to see birds with the eye of a beginner that one can assist him to the knowledge of what he does not know, as a natural development from what he himself may observe with no other equipment than his own eyes. Any other method involves an attempt to explain the unknown by what is equally unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
