Abstract
THE wearisome procession of books on British birds still drags on—a long train of volumes, all of necessity telling the same tale, and for the most part badly. The laboured apologies which most of these weaklings bring with them show, indeed, that their respective parents realise how slender is the chance of their finding favour even at the hands of a public proverbially long-suffering. Yet still they come.
