In order to convey to the reader some idea of 

 the size of birds, a list of British Birds, exclusive 

 of rare stragglers, will be found at the end of the 

 volume. After the name of the bird are figures 

 representing its length in inches, and the letters 

 R, S, or W to show if it be resident or summer 

 or winter visitor. The classification is that of 

 Lieutenant-Colonel Irby.
