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.

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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.

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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.
