In the writer's Opinion measurements are not of much service, especially as hardly any two persons measure a bird in the same manner. Unless otherwise stated, the sexes are alike in plumage, and the remarks refer to adults in summer plumage.

The present list enumerates 452 species, of which 76 are included in square brackets, leaving 376 species as the ascertained number of British birds.

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 Hand-List of British Birds: With an Account of the Distribution of Each Species in the British Isles and Abroad In drawing up this account of the distribution of each species in the British Isles we have had in view the necessity of giving such details as will indicate to the student whether a bird is worthy of special record on account of its general rarity, its scarcity in any particular part of the country, or at some particular season of the year, or because of the want of previous observations. For these and other such reasons it has been necessary to treat some species much more fully than others. The distribution abroad has been given in more general terms, but here again a species of wide range does not require so much detail as one of more restricted or unequal distribution. Moreover our knowledge of the distribution of some species is much more complete than that of others. The notes on migration refer chiefly to passage-movements or are given in cases where the known migrations of a species are too complicated to be treated in the distributional accounts.

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.

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.

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 Birds on the British List: Their Title to Enrollment Considered, Especially With Reference to the British Ornithological Union's List of British Birds; With a Few Remarks Upon 'Evolution, ' and Notes Upon the Rarer Eggs To Persons who are desirous to make a collection of Birds; or their eggs; and to confine that collection to those of this country; it is of importance to be clear as to what birds are, or are not British: and it appears to me that 'British Birds, ' and 'Birds on the British List' are not quite the same thing. The difficulty of determining which are 'British Birds' consists in the different views which those Ornithologists take, who, by their experience, and publications, are justly accepted as law-givers. The difficulty, as to what Birds should be upon the British List, consists in the authenticity or non-authenticity of their 'occurrence' in these Islands. The evidence, when fairly put can be competently judged by most persons who take an interest in the subject. But it has been most differently admitted, or rejected by our best men. It seems manifest, if a distinction be drawn between 'British Birds, ' and 'Birds on the British List, ' that a single occurrence of any wild bird, from natural causes, should entitle that bird to a place on our List; but it should take much more to constitute it a British Bird.

Charles Swainson. 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."
