consider them worthy of notice ; too much attention cannot 

 be paid to birds on migration in any part of the world. 



On Sunday May 13th we dropped anchor at Cowes, and the 

 most interesting voyage which I have ever made was over. 



The distance covered was 19,851 miles, and we had been 

 almost 187 days absent from England. 



During the voyage I preserved just over 500 bird-skins 

 as well as mammals and other specimens. 



My very best thanks are due to Lord Crawford for his 

 great kindness in taking me with him for the third time. 

 The great interest, to a naturalist, in visiting these little- 

 known islands can be better imagined than described. 



My best thanks are also due to the Hon. Walter Lindsay 

 and Dr. Deane for much valuable help in collecting during 

 the voyage. 



I have worked out my entire collection of birds at the 

 British Museum, and for much kind help I am indebted to 

 Dr. Bowdler Sharpe and Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, and to their 

 excellent assistants Messrs. Chubb and Wells.
