 species will be faithfully and truthfully represented.

 the sixth to include the remaining four, with the Introduction, Preface, &c. 



All the plates will be coloured bij hand. Price, to subscribers only,

THE BIRDS OF THE HUMBER DISTRICT. 



BY 



JOHN CORDEAUX, 



OP GREAT COTES. 



" We must now take leave of this, the latest contribution to the avifauna of 

 the British Islands, which, as a careful and painstaking record of the arrival 

 of our migratory birds on the shores and flats of the wild and interesting region 

 to which the author's remarks have been limited, may be regarded as almost 

 exhaustive ; and we heartily recommend, as a model for future monographers 

 with similar tastes and equal opportunities, this charming little volume on the 

 'birds of the Humber District.' A — Annals $ Mag. of Nat. Hist, May 1873.

" He is not only an accurate naturalist and a skilful sportsman, but possesses 

 a happy faculty of conveying with his pen his varied experiences in an easy, 

 chatty way, often with considerable graphic power." — The Times, Jan. 8, 1873*
