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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 3: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs We may therefore leave the question of the classification of birds to the decision of the future, and, whilst recognizing its supreme import ance, regard it as a subject somewhat outside the scope of our present inquiry. The progress of ornithology in Britain may be conveniently studied in periods - the first comprising a century, the second half a century, and the third, fourth, and fifth each a quarter of a century.

During summer it visits the countries bordering the Mediterranean, as well as southern Russia, eastwards to the Caspian Sea, but is only occasionally seen in Central Europe, whilst it appears to be a resident in Africa.

The fur ther particulars here inserted may prove acceptable. This Eagle, very similar in its appearance to our well known Golden Eagle, but almost one-third smaller in size.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 3: Containing Forty-Three Coloured Engravings The Shore Lark is rather shy in its habits, but, when engaged with its young, sits very close, either through a temporary change of disposition, or from anxiety for its brood, as if conscious of the protection which nature has afforded to it in the assimilation of the colour of its plumage to that of the scanty verdure alone to be found where it has its dwelling. Should, however, danger seem to approach too closely, the anxious mother utters away from any chance intruder, feigning lameness so cunningly, that none but one accustomed to the sight could refrain from pursuit. Her partner immediately joins her in mimic wretchedness, uttering a soft and plaintive note. It would appear that these birds may be kept in confinement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History British Birds British, Vol. 3 of 3 Nostrils lateral, basal, pierced longitudinally near the edges of the mandible, covered by a membrane. Legs moderate, slender, naked space on the tibia, but short, or entirely wanting; three toes before, one behind, the anterior toes entirely, or almost entirely, divided. Wings moderate, the first or the second quill-feather the longest in the wing. Although the eggs or the young of the Woodcock have been found, during one summer or another, in almost every county in England, as well as in several of those of Scotland, and also more frequently of late years than formerly, yet the great bulk of the species must be understood as only winter visitors, arriving early in October, or soon afterwards, and again departing northwards in March. Mr. Selby, one of our best observers, residing in the eastern part of Northumberland, and only four or five miles from the sea, says, "I have found that these birds always come over in the greatest bodies in hazy weather, with little wind, and that blowing from the north-east; and it is probable that they then find the upper region of the atmosphere, in which they fly, freer from counter currents of air, than in more open weather. After a night of this description I have frequently met with great numbers upon the edges of plantations, in hedges, and even in turnip-fields, and enjoyed excellent sport for the day; but on seeking, on the following morning, for a renewal of similar success, I have not found a single bird, the whole flight having proceeded on their course during the intervening night. It is during this time that Woodcocks, like most migratory birds, perform their journeys: and it seems probable that those which halt upon the eastern coast of Scotland, and the northern counties of England, have completed their task from shore to shore, between sunset and sunrise, as they appear but little fatigued on their arrival, provided the weather has been calm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 4 The year covered by our fourth volume has been marked by a steady advance rather than by any very striking event in British ornithology. The interest in the Marking Scheme continues to grow, and the recoveries already announced show excellent promise for the future. Such an inquiry must necessarily be continued for some years before results of real value can be obtained, but we now feel assured that the ringing of birds, if conducted on a scale equal to that of last year, will be the means of our gaining a considerable knowledge of the exact movements of individual birds - a subject of which we now know practically nothing. We may here again express our gratitude to those numerous readers who, by their enthusiastic co-operation, are making the scheme a success. The Crossbill irruption and the resultant nesting have again engaged the careful attention of many contributors, and never before has such a visitation been so well and thoroughly recorded. The value of a careful study of geographical races is becoming more widely recognized, and the knowledge gained by this means of the origin of a number of immigrants, as in the case of Jays, Great Tits, and Woodpeckers recorded in the pages of this volume, must surely convince the most sceptical that the subdivision of species into racial forms is of real practical value to the student of migration, apart from its undoubted interest to the evolutionist. Notes on various interesting points connected with the life-history and distribution of our birds have again shown a growth both in number and importance, and we hope that this valuable feature will continue to increase.

The destruction of their eggs in Sweden, Where they, as likewise thebirds themselves, are in much request, may perhaps account for this, as well as possibly for the circumstance of their building so much more frequently with us than formerly, as presently adverted to, though their actual numbers are diminished. In Orkney and Shetland they occur on their way north and south. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the arrangement of the various classes, as well as in the descriptive part, we have taken as guides our intelligent and indefatigable countrymen, Pennant and Lathamf'f to whose elegant and useful labours the world is indebted for a fund of the most rational entertainment, and who will be remembered by every lover of Nature as long as her works have power to charm. The communications with which we have been favoured by those gentlemen who wefe so good as to notice our growing work, have been generally acknowledged, each in its proper place; it remains only that we be permitted to insert this testimony of our grateful sense of them.
