Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of British Birds Those species which the Committee does not regard as positively authenticated as British are distinguished by having their names printed in italics and included in square brackets. But it has been deemed advisable to regard as British every species of which even a single specimen has been obtained in an undoubtedly wild state within the confines of the British Islands. The present list enumerates 452 species, of which 76 are included in square brackets, leaving 376 species as the ascertained number of British birds.

In the writer's Opinion measurements are not of much service, especially as hardly any two persons measure a bird in the same manner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch-Book of British Birds Of these four hundred and forty-five species, there are doubtless several that have no real claim to be considered British at all. The evidence of the capture of many of the specimens is not convincing, and many species are included in the British Avil'auna on untrustworthy data. They have been, however, on the British list [or so many years that any attempt to shake the authenticity of their occurrence by a single author may be resented.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of British Birds Eggs After the shortening days of autumn and the bitter winds of winter, what a thrill of pleasurable emotion do the simplest harbingers of Spring excite, - the budding hedges, the first pale primrose or scented violet, springing in copsewood, amid the amber shoots of richest velvet moss!

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bird Life in England IN these pages I have attempted to give a somewhat uncon ventional view of bird life in England and her sister kingdoms to north and west. The naturalist may smile at a monograph so incomplete as this, but in Yarrel, Morris, Gould, Grey, and a score of others, he will find exhaustive authors who have gone with infinite care and pains through the whole list of British birds and epitomized each. No attempt of this sort has been made here. There are, to begin with, more than three hundred birds nesting with greater or lesser frequency in our islands, and even at such modest allotment as two pages to each, we should have at once a bulky volume of six hundred pages. But the greater part of these wild fowl of meadow and marsh are the curator's birds alone, and lovers of country side and the life of copse and dingle can only hope to meet with but a very much reduced selection from the formidable list which professors and students have put together. It is of these birds, the more familiar ones, I write. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Breconshire Having for many years been in the habit of jotting down the occur rence of the rarer British birds in this county, as the reports have reached me from time to time, and as no list of the birds of this county has hitherto been published, I determined, at the suggestion of a few friends, to bring out the same in a series of papers, Which have appeared accordingly in The Zoologist.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ready Guide to British Birds As the result of long experience the author has cc me to the conclusion that there is a need for a guide to British Birds at once more simple and more ready than any yet published. After various experiments the plan adopted in this book was decided upon, viz. First to arrange the descriptions so that in the case of each bird the same characteristics (colour, ight, haunts, &c.) always follow one another in the same order and then to divide the descriptions into vertical columns, so that the Observer can, by looking down any one column, run through the different descriptions of any particular feature until he comes to one which corresponds tty what he has observed.

The following is Mr. Swainson's Preface: "My object has been to gather from various quarters the provincial names of our wild British birds (all notices of domesticated species being omitted), as well as the popular sayings and superstitions attached to them, illustrating these, if possible, by references to similar beliefs prevalent among other nations. I have endeavoured to model it, however imperfectly, on the invaluable volumes of M.Kolland, 'La Faune Populaire de la France, following the classification, and adopting the nomenclature, used in the 'List of British Birds compiled by a Committee of the British Ornithologists' Union. London, 1883.' "I must express my most sincere thanks to Mr, J.A. Harvie Brown for the help he so kindly afforded in allowing me to make use of his Ms. list of the provincial names of Scotch birds, also for many useful suggestions and corrections; and to Mr. Gomme for the courtesy and consideration he has shown in many ways, especially in his revision of the proofs. "I may add that the completion of the work has been unavoidably delayed from several causes, one of which has been my own ill-health."
