IIERONPvIES IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND, WHICH 

 ARE IN EXISTENCE, OR HAVE EXISTED. 



BY J. Mc'iNTOSrr, ESQ. 



Our object in offering the following hst of Heronries which are, or have 

 existed in Great Britain, is to compare, through the pages of "The Naturalist," 

 the decrease in numbers of this once noble bird of the chase. At the same 

 time we are aware that our list is anything but complete, and will therefore 

 feel thankful for any additional information on this subject through the pages 

 of "The Naturalist."
