Abstract
To the last edition of his “Bird Notes,” the author appended a glossary of synonyms of the British species. The present little volume is an amplification of that glossary, and appears to be as nearly complete as possible. The work commences with a classified list of the British species (in which we notice that the author is a conservative in the matter of nomenclature), and then follows the glossary. It should enable amateur ornithologists residing in country districts to identify all the local birds without difficulty.
