birds (Proc. Zool. Soc, 1830), Denny's list of animals occurring near 

 Leeds (Ann. and Mag. N.H., 1840), Hogg's Catalogue of Birds observed 

 in south-eastern Durham and north-western Cleveland (Zool. 1845), 

 and Talbot's Birds of Wakefield (Nat. 1876). 



The chief lists which have appeared in, or as appendices to, topo- 

 graphical works are to be found in Miller's " History of Doncaster " 

 (1804), Graves's "History of Cleveland" (1808), Young's "History 

 of Whitby" (1817), Wbitaker's "History of Richmondshire " (1823), 

 Hinderwell's " History of Scarborough " (1832), Lankester's " Account 

 of Askern " (1842), Barker's "Three Days of Wensleydale " (1854), 

 Hobkirk's " History and Natural History of Huddersfield " (1859, 

 2nd Ed. 1868), Hobson's " Life of Charles Waterton " (1866), Roberts'- 

 " Topography and Natural History of Lofthouse " (1882-5), Swains 

 son's "Folk-lore and Provincial Names" (1886), Atkinson's "Forty 

 Years in a Moorland Parish " (1891), and Backhouse's " Upper Tees- 

 dale " (1896). 



In addition to these lists, there are innumerable records in the 

 periodicals and in natural history and topographical works generally, 

 chiefly in the pages of the " Zoologist," the " Ibis," the " Field," " Land 

 and Water," " Loudon's Magazine of Natural History," the various 

 publications bearing the name of " Naturalist," which have appeared 

 under the editorship of Messrs. Wood, Morris, Hobkirk, Porritt, Eagle 

 Clarke, Roebuck, Sheppard, Woodhead, and others, and in the earlier 

 volumes of the " Annals and Magazine of Natural History," and of the 

 " Proceedings of the Zoological Society." 



The late John Cordeaux's " Birds of the Humber District " (1872) 

 and "List of Brit. Birds belonging to the Humber District" (1899), 

 are valuable contributions — not only to the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire 

 fauna — but to British ornithology generally ; and lastly — but in point 

 of value first and most important — is Mr. W. Eagle Clarke's bird portion 

 of the " Handbook of the Vertebrate Fauna of Yorkshire," which was 

 published in 1881, and contains in a condensed form the results of 

 previous research in Yorkshire ornithology. The Reports of the 

 British Association Migration Committee (i 880-1 887), to which I 

 furnished information from the Teesmouth area, have been freely 

 quoted in connection with the interesting subject of migration. 



I have also had the advantage of consulting the MS. Report of 

 Thomas AUis on " The Birds of Yorkshire " (1844). This list, which 

 includes 258 species, has been of much assistance from the evidence it 

 contains as to the faunistic position of various species at that and 

 earlier dates, besides the numerous records of occurrences.
