Abstract
FIELD ornithologists will appreciate this publication, first for bringing within the confines of a single volume a mass of records hitherto scattered among numerous publications, and secondly for its list of localities where the bird-lover, month by month, can view many of our common species. Part of the preface could, with advantage, have been omitted, as the author devotes it to criticisms of local societies, inappropriate to any scientific work. There is a brief list of local ornithological collections and a short account of Wild Bird by-laws.
