Abstract
ORNITHOLOGY has made notable contributions to general biology during the present century. The student of species-formation, of adaptation, of animal population, of ecology, of behaviour, or of courtship and sexual selection cannot neglect the ornithological literature, for it is there that he is likely to find many of his clearest and best worked out examples. Field-work has been as important as museum or laboratory study, and the contributions of British field-workers have been among the most important.
