18 THE BIRDS OF SUFFOLK. 



a reference is always made to these two catalogues when 

 they contain any mention of the bird, as well as to such few 

 earlier ornithological works as may speak of it merely in a 

 general way, as belonging to Suffolk. 



In a few copies of works on Ornithology there are 

 scattered MS. notes of which I have made use. These are (1) 

 Notes inserted by the late Mr.Lombe in copies of Bewick and 

 Montagu preserved in the Norwich Museum, to which Mr. 

 Stevenson called my attention, and (2) Notes by the late 

 Mr. Dennis and the late Mr. W. Clarke and others in copies 

 of Bewick and of larrell which Mrs. Dennis kindly shewed 

 me. 



The works on particular localities or parishes of Suffolk, 

 have been mentioned above under the eight districts into 

 which the county is divided. 



It should be added in conclusion that notices of Suffolk 

 birds by many writers occur in various periodical works, such 

 as the Magazine of Natural History, edited by J. C. Loudon 

 (Lond. 1 8^9-39), the Annals of Natural History, edited by 

 Jardine, Selby and others (Lond 1841 sqq), and more 

 especially the Zoologist (Lond. 1843 sqq. in three series), 

 referred to in the following pages as Z., as well as in 

 several other serials in a loss degree, including the Quarterly 

 Journal of the Suffolk Institute, and the Transactions of the 

 Norfolk and Norvnch Naturalists'* Society* These also have 

 been quoted for the augmentation of the present Catalogue ; 

 and the names of the contributors added. 



In the arrangement I have followed the Handbook of 

 British BirdshyJ. E. Harting, F.L.S. (Lond. 1872), in which 

 the accidental visitors are separated from such birds as we 

 may designate true Britons, In the latter class are included 

 (1) Residents which rear their young annually in the British 

 Islands, and are to be found in some part or other of the 

 United Kingdom throughout the year ; (2) Periodical 

 Migrants which visit us annually and regularly at particular 



*In vol. iii. pp. 231-262, is to be found M. A., F.L.S. , 1809 to 1826," to which 

 a paper entitled "Extracts from the I have referred below as " Whitear'a 

 Calendar of the Rev. William Whitear, Calendar."
