METHOD OF USING THE "READY GUIDE.' 



QUESTION : WHAT BIRD is THIS ? 

 A. Observations : 



(i.) It is rather larger than a House Sparrow. 

 (ii.) It has a red breast, black head, and white rump. 



E. Process of identification in the " Guide" : 



(i.) Find the House Sparrow in Index^ No. 42. 

 (ii.) Selecting most conspicuous feature (red breast), 

 look down column "Colour, Under Parts, " 

 beginning at No. 43. 



[No. 43, Chaffinch, may at first seem correct, but head 

 and rump do not correspond. Therefore proceed to 

 next bird with red breast.] 



(iii.) Check all your observations with the descriptions 

 given in the various columns, especially the 

 "Distinctive Features/' 



No. 55 will be found to agree in every detail. 

 ANSWER : BULLFINCH.
