CHAPTER VII 



WILD LIFE ON A SUEREY MOOR 



I THINK I can say without boasting that I am as well 

 acquainted with the wild life to be found on a certain 

 Surrey moor as I am with that of the one upon which I 

 was born and lived every day, until I was twenty years 

 of age, in the least factory-grimed part of Yorkshire. 



For purposes of comparison I have compiled rough 

 lists of the wild birds and beasties to be found on and 

 in the neighbourhood of each. Although differing con- 

 siderably in geographical situation for a small country 

 and elevation, it will be noticed that there is a wonder- 

 ful similarity in the furred and feathered life of each, 

 the southern moor having, as might be expected, an 

 advantage in point of the number of species.
