PREFATORY NOTE. 



The present volume (which must be regarded as the second of our 

 series of Ornithological Bibliographies, the first, " A Bibliography of 

 British Ornithology," havmg been published in 1917) contains all 

 separate works, articles or notes in periodicals, dealing with local faunas, 

 the previous volume having embraced the biographies of those writers 

 who had published a separate work on British birds, together with a list 

 of their writings, excluding short notes. The only ornithological literature 

 we have not dealt with, therefore, consists of these short notes, when not 

 of a local faunistic nature, and longer articles that have not been written 

 by the author of a separate work or pamphlet on British birds. As 

 regards the assistance rendered us for this volume, this is for the most 

 part acknowledged in the preface to the previous, or in the list of counties 

 in the present volume. Our thanks are also due to all those not especially 

 mentioned by name on whose assistance and help we have been able 

 to rely.
