viii BIRDS IN LONDON 



All the matter contained in this book, with 

 the exception of one article, or part of an article, 

 on London birds, in the ' Saturday Be view,' now 

 appears for the first time. 



In conclusion, I have to express my warm 

 thanks to those who have helped me in my task, 

 by supplying me with fresh information, and in 

 other ways.
