Extracts from an unpublished Ornithology of 

 Glasgow. 



By the late Dr. John Grieve, with Notes by John Paterson. 



[Read, in part, on 26th March, 1901, 



Through the courtesy of Dr. G. Burnside Buchanan, there came 

 into the possession of the Societ}' recently a very interesting 

 little work on the Birds of Glasgow, in manuscript, by the late 

 Dr. John Grieve (regarding whom see an obituary notice in our 

 Transactions, Vol. IV. (N.S.), p. 357). This little work, which 

 has remained unpublished, bears a title page as follows : — 



ornithologia millburnensis : 



the ornithology of glasgow; 



compiled 



from observations made at millburn 



during a series of years, 



by john grieve. 



GLASGOW : 



1S47. 



With this there also came to the Society some loose sheets, 

 evidently notes of an address on the same subject, but, unfortun- 

 ately, incomplete in respect of a few pages at the beginning. I 

 believe the part lost to have dealt with the Peregrine Falcon, 

 Sparrow-Hawk, Kite, Hen-Harrier, Rook, and in part Jackdaw, 

 being the first half-dozen species in the complete list. 



The Birds of Glasgow is a work yet to be undertaken. In the 

 meantime it may be said that local ornithologists owe some 

 gratitude to Dr. Grieve's memory for the admirable example he 

 has set to them in the work under notice.
