Abstract
THE contents of the volume are practically all, if not entirely all, the written result of the author's own seven years' residence on Bleaker Island and other islands of the group. It is not, perhaps, intended to be a scientific treatise on the birds of the Falklands, nor to be an exhaustive list of the birds which occur there; on the other hand, nobody who reads the book can fail to find much in it that is both novel and interesting. No descriptions are given of the various birds referred to. The letter-press deals entirely with notes on the range, habits and nidification of each species. Altogether it gives notes on thirty-one species of birds found on the islands, including geese and ducks, penguins, albatrosses and gulls, waders and birds of prey.
