Abstract
WE are glad to welcome a new edition of this book, which we reviewed shortly after the publication of the first edition NATURE, vol. xxxii. p. 241). The task of preparing a new edition (in the absence of Mr.Mitchell from England) was undertaken by Mr. Howard Saunders, and it is scarcely necessary to say that he has discharged his duty thoroughly. He has no personal connection with Lancashire, but he has had much help from local authorities, especially from Mr. R. J. Howard, of Blackburn; and with their aid he has brought the book, as far practicable, up to date. Several species have been added to the list, and there is a new index.
The Birds of Lancashire.
By F. S. Mitchell. Second Edition. Revised and Annotated by Howard Saunders. (London: Gurney and Jackson, 1892.)
