BRITISH BIRDS: 



KEY LIST. 



BY 

 LlEUT.-COLONEL L. HOWARD IRBY, 



AUTHOR OP ' ORNITHOLOGY OP THE STEAITS OP GI6RALTAR.' 



Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged. 



This attempt at a "Key List" of British Birds is not 

 intended for scientific ornithologists ; but for those who have 

 only a slight knowledge of birds, so as to enable them to 

 determine a species without having to search through bulky 

 volumes. 



Every endeavour has been made to avoid technical and 

 scientific tei'ms and to be as concise as possible. 



" This little work, compiled by one of our best practical Ornitho- 

 logists and sportsmen, is intended for the use of those who already 

 have a slight knowledge of birds, but require a handy guide to the 

 diagnostic characters of the species as a companion when travelling. 

 It promises to be most useful, and certainly represents a great deal 

 of research in a small compass- — neaeiy PEKrECi." — Athenceum. 



" This work, written by an excellent practical oruithologist, is 

 likely to prove of great service, owing to the lakge amouni op infor- 

 mation COMPRESSED INTO A SMALL COMPASS." Ibis. 



" Has stjpplied a real want." — Nature.

SPORTING SKETCHES IN SOUTH AMERICA.

(COMJIANDEB-IN-CHIEP BAST INDIA STATION). 



With Map and Illustrations. 



" The book is far more than a mere record of Sport, for quite as 

 much is said about the countries visited as about the animals found 

 in them, and many works of far higher pretensions do not contain 

 half the ' grit ' supplied by this little volume. * * * * bright 

 little book." — Athenoium.
