Not less than 225 species of Birds have been found in Middlesex, of which 60 are resident, 

 68 migratory, and 91 rare and accldcniai -risitants. The plan of the work is modeled after 

 Tarrell. The musical flotation of thi3 notes of various birds are given. The work la written 

 by a well-known and accomplished field ornithologist, and has a high standing ; being, in fact, 

 the chief authority upon the birds of this locality. It is based entirely upon h-.a personal ob- 

 servations in the tield, and maj^ bo regarded as perfectly reliable, besides being written in an 

 interesting manner. Cf. Ibis, 1867, p. 123.

Montagu's celebrated 'Dictionary' was originally published in 2 vols, iu 1H02, with a sup. 

 plement in 1813. The additions which the author made exceeded the original work in bulk. 

 Reunie's edition, being the 2d, appeared in 1831. 



In the present greatly enlarged and modified edition the whole of his • Dictionaiy.' 'Sup- 

 plement,' and 'Appendix' are reprinted ih a combined .and alphabetical order, the worda 

 "supplement " and " appendix " being prefixed to whatever is derived from these two sources. 

 "Nothing tliat Montagu has publislied is omitted or altered." Newman's additions, chiefly 

 derived from Selby, Yairell, and tlus pages of the 'Zoologist,' are marked, by inverted com- 

 mas, with references to 1 hose works. Immediately aftei' a name is inserted a reference to the 

 bird and its egg, Tarrell's 'History' (3d ed.) and Howitson's 'Oology' (3d ed.) being selected 

 for this purpose ; these and other editorial interpolations being bracketed. 



This is the most convenient form iu which Montagu is found, this author's originally sep- 

 arated instalments of his woik being here brought together in proper order, ami much new- 

 editorial matt(!r of value being added. 



The editor says:— ' 1 (h-sire exjdieitly to state that I" have taken nothing from the text of 

 the original work ; and in the second i)laoe, 1 have added scarcely anything of my own: in no 

 instance have I overlaid the original with my own observations, altered tlie author's obvious 

 meaning to suit my own views, or attempted to contiovert bis assertimis b.'causc^ at variance 

 with my own more limited experience : nevertheless important additions have been made, as I 

 will endeavor to explain." Tlie gist of the additions arc :— (i) 24 species added by Selby t« 

 those of Montagu ; 59 in Yarrell a^lditional to Selby ; 21 more in tlie Zoologist, and 2 iu tlie Ibisg
