AVES. 

 (Birds.) 



Compiled by HY. J. TURNER, F.E.S. 



This list of Birds has been compiled with some difficulty, owing 

 to the conflicting observations in the various lists available. While 

 undoubtedly there are numerous errors and shortcomings in it, 

 it is hoped that the list may be of use as a basis for future work. 

 It will be remembered that some of the records are of historical 

 interest rather than a statement of present day facts, especially 

 those from the " Fauna of Blackheath," published in 1859. The 

 works, and private MS. Lists, which have been consulted are : 

 4 'Fauna of Blackheath and its Vicinity," 1859; "MS. List 

 of Birds," observed by the Rev. S. G. Scott, from his garden 

 at the Rectory, Woolwich, during the years 1883-92 ; 

 " Birds of my Garden," by W. Groves, of Shortlands, in 

 the "Report of the N. Kent Nat, Hist, Soc., 1889-90"; 

 " The Birds of London," by H. K. Swann, 1893 ; " List of Birds 

 of Bromley," by A. E. Collinge and A. S. Kennard, for the Bromley 

 Naturalists' Society, 1895 ; " Birds in London," by W. H. Hudson,
