626 LIST OF WORKS CONSULTED 



by J. Rohweder and E. F. von Homeyer, and many scattered faunal papers may be found in the 

 pages of the Journ. fur Ornith., the Ornith. Jahrbuch, the Ornith. Centralblatt, and other periodicals. 



HOLLAND. 



H. Schlegel's De Vogels van Nederland, 2nd ed. (1878), though now out of date, is still an attractive 

 work, and more useful than his earlier book on the same subject. 



Useful lists have been published by H. Roller (1888), F. E. Blaauw (Comparative List of the Birds 

 of Holland and England, 1893), H. Albarda (1897), and E. D. van Oort (Notes from the Leyden Mus., 

 1908), but the best modern book on Dutch ornithology is Baron Snoukaert van Schauberg's Aves 

 Neerlandicce. 



Among local faunas H. Albarda's Naamlijst tier in d. prov. Friesl. waargenomen Vogels deserves mention. 



BELGIUM. 



1875. Baron Fallon, Monographic des Oiseaux de la Belgique. 



1876-94. A. Dubois, Faune illustrde des Vertebras de la Belgique : H. Oiseaux, 2 vols., text and atlas. 



[A good modern work on the birds of Belgium is much needed.] 



See also A. de la Fontaine, Faune du pays de Luxembourg (1865-66). 



FRANCE. 



Although many useful local faunas have been published, there is no good general work on the 

 ornithology of France. Ornithologie Europtenne, ou Catalogue descriptif . . . des Oiseaux obserrds en Europe 

 (2nd ed., 1867), by Degland and Gerbe, is quite out of date at the present time. 



1896. L. Olphe-Galliard, Faune ornithologique de I'Europe occidentale, etc. (4 vols.). 



1907. P. Paris, Catalogue des Oiseaux observes en France. [A useful list.] 



A fairly complete list of local faunas up to 1878 is given by H. Saunders in the Zoologist for 

 1878, pp. 95-99. It is not necessary to reprint this lengthy list of titles, but a few of the more 

 important are noted below. 



H. Gadeau de Kerville, Faune de la Normandie, Oise.aux, 2 vols. (1891-92). 



J. B. Bailly, Ornithologie de la Savoie, 4 vols. and atlas (1853-55). [Contains valuable observations 

 on habits, and is generally reliable.] 



J. B. Jaubert and Barthelemy-Lapommeraye, Pdchesses ornithologiques du Midi de la France (1859). 

 [This large work contains surprisingly little information either on distribution or habits.] 



A. Lacroix, Catalogue raisonne" des oiseaux observes dans les Pyre'ne'es franfaises (1873-75). [Full of 

 detail, but not altogether reliable.] 



E. Martin, Les Oiseaux de la Brenne (1887); Lacordaire and L. Marchant, Catalogue des Oiseaux 

 . . . du Doubs el de la Haute-Saune (1877), contain useful notes, but many local lists are little more 

 than catalogues and by no means dependable. In English periodicals H. Saunders contributed two 

 papers on the Pyrenees to the Ibis for 1884 and 1897. See also Backhouse (Ibis, 1887), Wallis 

 (t.c. 1895), Eagle Clarke (t.c. 1889), and Evans (i.e. 1904). For the Rhone delta see W. Eagle Clarke, 

 Ibis, 1895 and 1898; and for the Var Department see Gurney, Ibis, 1901. 

 CORSICA. 



(For bibliography of the island see F. C. R. Jourdain, Ibis, 1911, p. 191, and 1912, p. 328.) 



The most important English papers are those by Wharton (Ibis, 1876), Whitehead (t.c. 1885), and 

 Backhouse (Zool, 1891). The Avifaune locale of H. H. Giglioli, p. 632 (1890) should also be 

 consulted. 



1910-11. Dr. C. Parrot, Ornith. Jahrbuch, xxi.-xxii. Beitrage zur Ornithologie der Insel Korsika. 

 [Interesting notes on the local forms.] 



1911-12. F. C. R. Jourdain, Ibis 4 (papers), Notes on the Ornithology of Cwsica. [Contains a 

 resume of what has been written on the ornithology of the island.] 

 SPAIN. 



[There is no good general account of the ornithology of Spain. Arevalo's work is little more 

 than a catalogue with names of localities. Irby's Ornithology of the Straits of Gibraltar is extremely 

 useful, but only deals with a limited district, and the last edition has now been published eighteen 

 years. The Spanish works are not to be depended on.]
