KEY LIST.

Lieut.-Colonel L. HOWARD IRBY, 



AUTHOR OP ' 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 by one of our best practical Ornithologists 

 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 .... nuarlt perfect." — 

 Athenceum. 



" Is likely to prove of great service, owing to the large amount of 



INFORMATION COMPRESSED INTO A SMALL COMPASS." Djis.

A NATUKALIST IN THE TKAiWAAL. 



BY 



W. L. DISTANT. 



With Coloured Plates of New Species and Original Drawings. 



" Mr. Distant could hardly have employed his time to better purpose, as 

 his readers will acknowledge. He writes with authority on all matters of 

 natural history, and his habits of close observation, acquired in zoological 

 pursuits, have stood him in good stead in his study of the social and 

 political condition of the Transvaal and the personal characteristics of the 

 Eoers. All naturalists will delight in the book, and political students will 

 find in it much profitable instruction." — Times.
