And finally, to possible critics who may lament the omission of 

 information they think should be here, I have the honor — and pleas- 

 ure — of repeating Mr. Bent's words: "If the reader fails to find men- 

 tioned in these pages some things which he knows about the birds, 

 he can blame himself for not having sent them to :"
