THE BIRDS OF THE HUMBER DISTRICT. 



BY 

 JOHN CORDEAUX, 



OF GREAT COTES. 



" We must now take leave of this, the latest contribution to the avifauna of 

 the British Islands, which, as a careful and painstaking record of the arrival 

 of our migratory birds on the shores and flats of the wild and interesting region 

 to which the author's remarks have been limited, may be regarded as almost 

 exhausT;ive ; and we heartily recommend, as a model for future monogi-aphers 

 with similar tastes and equal opportunities, this charming little volume on the 

 'birds of the Humber District.' "—Annals 8f Mag. of Nat. Hist. May 1873.
