APPENDIX C. 



An Outline of the Ornithology of Godalming, in the County of 

 Surrey ; with brief Records of the Occurrence of some of 

 the Rarer Birds. By EDWAKD NEWMAN. 



I HAVE introduced above a very faithful representation of 

 Hatch, so long the residence of Mr. Kidd : it was here that he 

 cultivated Ornithology so successfully; and I was at that time a 

 very frequent visitor to his bird-room, and spent many of the 

 happiest hours of my boyhood in receiving information in that 

 much loved apartment. For many years every rare bird shot 

 within twenty miles of Godalming was brought to Waring Kidd, 

 at Hatch, and consequently the opportunity he possessed of ac- 

 quiring an exact knowledge of the Ornithology of the district 

 could not be surpassed, and has rarely been equalled.
