Vill. Introduction 
ticularly from the Spurn country. Mr. G. H. Caton Haigh has 
also added at least eight species to the Lincolnshire list by his 
unwearied observations. With slight modifications the nomen- 
clature and arrangement are adapted from Mr. Howard Saunders’ 
‘A List of British Birds,” 1899. 
In conclusion, I venture to issue this pamphlet, trusting it 
may prove an acceptable reference to fellow ornithologists, 
members of that honourable and united brotherhood, the British 
Ornithologists’ Union, whose labours and researches in many 
lands have so greatly advanced the science of ornithology, also 
for the use of members of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, and 
Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union, and lastly, to all those who in 
past years have been my companions in pleasantly recalled 
wanderings amongst the haunts of our native birds, as a grateful 
acknowledgment for services rendered to their obliged comrade 
and fellow-worker.
