The Birds of Cornwall and the Scilly Islands

Abstract

THE addition of another volume to the already long series of works upon the local avifaunas of Great Britain is not perhaps an event of any very great importance as regards ornithology in general. Yet the name of the late Mr. Edward Hearle Rodd of Penzance is so well known to British naturalists, and the county in which his observations were made is a land of such special interest, that there can be no doubt of the present volume being acceptable to a wide circle of readers.

The Birds of Cornwall and the Scilly Islands.

By the late Edward Hearle Rodd. Edited, with an Introduction, Appendix, and brief Memoir of the Author, by James Edmund Harting. With Portrait and Map; (London: Trübner and Co., 1880.)
