BRITISH BIRDS: KEY LIST. By Lieut.-Col. L. Howard Irby, 

 Author of ' Ornithology of the Straits of Gibraltar.' 



This attempt at a " Key List" of British Birds is not inteuded to be of use 

 to scientific ornithologists; but the compiler hopes it may be useful to those 

 having a slight knowledge of birds, so as to enable them to determine a species 

 without having to search through bulky volumes. 



■ ' It promises to be most useful. A great deal of research in a small compass.
