Abstract
MR. HARVIE-BROWN, well known as one of the most active and practical of our home-ornithologists, has endeavoured to chronicle the abnormal effects of an unusually severe winter on bird-life. To this end the scattered notices on this subject which have appeared in various journals and periodicals have been collected, and are supplemented by communications from private correspondents and by personal investigations. The result is the memoir now before us, in which the observations thus collected are arranged in a systematic form.
Ornithological Journal of the Winter of 1878-79; with Collected Notes regarding its Effects upon Animal Life, including Remarks on the Migration of Birds in the Autumn of 1878 and the Spring of 1879.
By John A. Harvie-Brown. (Proc. Nat. Hist. Soc., Glasgow, 1879.)
