with is, of course, only a small portion of the county, extending from Clyffe 
Pypard and Barbury on the north to Bishops Cannings and Martinsell on 
the south, touching Ogbourne St. George and Mildenhall on the east, and 
Calne and Heddington on the west; but it is safe to say that within this 
area—and archeeologically speaking it is an extremely important area—the 
work which the author set before him has been done exhaustively, and all 
future investigators will base their enquiries on the Great Map and its 
companion the Guide, in which even now many barrows and earthworks are 
recorded which have, alas! disappeared for ever. 
The book was reviewed at length in Wilts Arch. Mag., xxiii. 59—68. 
by the Rev. R. C. Clutterbuck. 
_ The Birds of Wiltshire, comprising all the Periodical 
and Occasional Visitants, as well as those which 
are indigenous to the County. Published for the Author 
by R. H. Porter, 6, Tenterden St., London, W.; and H. F. Bull, Devizes. 
1887. Cloth. 8vo. pp. xxv., 588. 
The book contains the substance of the papers on the “Ornithology of 
Wilts” published by the author in the earlier volumes of the Wiltshire 
Archeological Magazine, thrown together in book form, partly re-written, 
and with a large amount of additional information. Each species known to 
have occurred»in the county is described, and in the case of the rarer birds 
the various instances in which they are known to have been seen or killed 
are recorded. It is now, and doubtless will for a long while continue to be, 
the authority on the subject of which it treats.
