RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS 



throw the binomial system to the dogs, and trample the 

 Stricklandian code under foot, and once for all study 

 nature and make their nomenclature harmonise with the 

 facts of nature. 



One of the great charms of the study of ornithology 

 is the amount of work which still remains to be done. 

 The pleasure which comes from labour of any kind is 

 pretty much in proportion to its results, and there are 

 very few, if any countries in which ornithological field- 

 work is not amply repaid by interesting discoveries. I 

 trust that when the reader lays down my book he will 

 agree with me that there are few countries in the world 

 more prolific of objects of interest than Siberia.
