28 BRITISH BIRDS. [vol. vni. 



We should be grateful to Mr. Walpole-Bond if he would 

 tell us on what evidence he assigns the Peak as part of the 

 breeding-range of the Pied Flycatcher. Though the dales 

 of North Derbyshire are eminently suitable for the purpose, 

 we have failed to find this species nesting there. 



Taken as a whole, the book is fuU of interest to those 

 whose greatest pleasure it is to study wild birds in the field, 

 and the general truthfulness and accuracy of its word -pictures 

 is at once apparent to those who, like IVIr. Walpole-Bond, have 

 spent long days among the wild moorlands and sea-cliffs of 

 our islands. F. C. R. Jottrdain.
