PRESS OPINIONS:— 



Auk :— " Comparison shows that it yriW now be very easy for America.n and 



British ornithologists to come together on matters of nompnclatwre We 



congmtulate the authors of the British Hand-List upon the character of their work, 

 and upon the great strides that they have made toward uniformity of nomenclature. 

 Let us hope that all British ornithologists will hearken to the plea th.it they make 

 and adopt the names here set forth in aU future writings upon British birds." 



Glasgow Naturalist: — "The authors are to be congratulated on the som- 



pletion of a useful and vahiable work which has involved much research 



There is proof of great care in dealing with the facts of distribution. The work is 

 indeed remarkably successful in this particular . . . ." 



Avloultural Magazine:— "The notes on th« Distribution, both in the 

 British Isles and abroad, as well as the Migi-ation notes, are extremely well aud 



concisely written this handy manual, which in bringing our pre.sent 



knowledge clearly up to date, will prove of inestimable service to all working British 

 ornithologists." 



Atheneaum :— " Will be warmly welcomed by all serious ornithologists. 

 .... It should not be too much to hope that the long needed uniformity may 

 now be attained, and that every museum in the kingdom will lose no time iu falling^ 

 into line and revising its labels." 



Manchester Guardian:— "Let every ornithologist read the introduction 

 to the Hand-List betore he refuses to begin to learn his lessons over again." 



Scotsman:— "A high decree of accuracy and completeness has been 

 attained." 



Zoologist :— " Its distributional element is excellent aud trustworthy : its 

 nomenclatorial revision will provoke the greatest attention."
