Not less than 225 species of Birds have been found in Middlesex, of which 60 are resident, 

 68 migratory, and 97 rare and accidental visitants. The plan of the work is modeled after 

 Tarrell. The musical notation of the notes of various birds are given. The work is -ivi-itten 

 by a well-known and accomplished field ornithologist, and has a high standing ; being, in fact, 

 the chief authority upon the birds of this locality. It is based entirely upon h:s personal ob- 

 servations in the field, and may be regarded as perfectly reliable, besides being written in an 

 interesting manner. Cf. Ibis, 1867, p. 123.

Montagu's celebrated ' Dictionary ' was originally published in 2 vols, in 1802, with a sup- 

 plement in 1813. The additions which the author made exceeded the original work in bulk. 

 Kennie's edition, being the 2d, appeared in 18:jl. 



In the present greatly enlarged and modified edition the whole of his 'Dictionary,' 'Sup- 

 plement,' and 'Appendix' are reprinted in a combined and alphabetical order, the words 

 "supplement" and "appendix" beingprefixed to whatever is derived from these two sources. 

 "Nothing that Montagu has published is omitted or altered." Newm.in's additions, chiefly 

 derived from Selby, Tarrell, and the pages of the 'Zoologist,' are marked by inverted com- 

 mas, with references to those works. Immediately after a name is inserted a reference to the 

 bird and its egg, Yarrell's 'History' (3d ed.) and Hewitson's 'Oology' (3d ed.) being selected 

 for this purpose ; these and other editorial interpolations being bracketed. 



This is the most convenient form in which Montagu is found, this author's origin.ally sep- 

 arated inst.alments of his work being here brought together in proper order, .and much new 

 editorial matter of value being added. 



The editor says:— "I desire explicitly to state that I have taken nothing from the text of 

 the original work ; and in the second place, I have added scarcely anything of my own : in no 

 instance have I overlaid the original with my own observations, altered the author's obvious 

 meaning to suit my own views, or attempted to controvert his assertions because at variance 

 with my own more limited experience : nevertheless important additions have been maile, as I 

 will endeavor to explain." The gist of the additions are -.—a) 24 species added by Selby to 

 those of Montagu ; 59 in Tarrell additional to Selby ; 21 more in the Zoologist, and 2 in the Ibis;
