A CONTRIBUTION ‘TO.. THE NATURAL | HISTORY OF THE 
COUNTY: 
BY 
MILGER “CHRISTY, ELS; 
(Author of “‘ The Handbook for Essex,” ‘The Trade Signs of Essex,” &c., &c.) 
STUDENTS of Natural History have ever been alive to the yalue and importance 
of works describing the Fauna of counties or other local areas. Ornithologists, 
especially, have been very active in publishing local works of this kind. There 
are now very few of the Jarger and more important English counties in which 
some attempt has not. been made by a local observer to describe in the form of a 
book the species of birds which have been observed from time to time to frequent 
his particular district. The present work is intended to do this service for the — 
Essex ornithologist. 
This book, for which the author has been collecting materials for over fifteen 
years, is printed in the best style on superior toned antique paper, and hand- 
somely bound in scarlet cloth. The work extends to 300 pages, and more than — 
16. illustrations of birds are inserted, together with two plans and a frontispiece.
