BRITISH BIRDS: 



KEY LIST. 



BY 



LlEUT.-COLONEL L, HOWARD IRBY, 



AUTHOR OF ' ORNITHOLOGY OF THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR.' 



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 terms and to be as concise as possible. 



" This little work, compiled hy 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 — nearly perfect." — Athenceum. 



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

 likely to prove of great service, owing to the large amount of infor- 

 mation COMPRESSED INTO A SMALL COMPASS." Ibis. 



" Has supplied a real want." — Nature.

SPORTING SKETCHES IN SOUTH AMERICA. 



BY 



Admiral KENNEDY 



(COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF EAST 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." — Athenceum.
