THE BIRDS OF LONDON, 



By H. K. SWANN. 



" Even the hardened ornithologist may be surprised to learn that over 

 200 varieties of birds make their appearance periodically in and around 

 our begrimed city. Yet such, Mr. Swann tells us, is the case, and in this 

 very useful little work he not only gives the list, but tells us where and 

 when each kind may be found. To those who have hitherto thought that 

 the sparrow, the bullfinch, the starling and perhaps a dozen other birds, 

 were our only feathered visitors, the book will come as a revelation." — 

 Science Siftings. 



" ' The Birds of London * is u. capital book, and we earnestly recom- 

 mend it to those wise men and women whose earliest breakfast is the fresh 

 air of the meadows." — Literary World. 



" The introduction is specially noticeable for its simplicity of diction ; 

 at the same time it betrays its author as an old hand in the ornithological 

 sphere and not without an eye for the ossthetic in Nature." — Naturalists' 

 Journal. 



" It is a convenient little volume, and can be carried easily in the pocket 

 by anyone who rambles about London suburbs in search of birds." — 

 Nature Notes. 



"The book — to local ornithologists — should prove most invaluable. It 

 is cheap, correct, of handy form, and well got up. There is no excuse for 

 any ornithologist residing in or near London not possessing the work. For 

 the benefit of these we may mention that Howard Saunders has been fol- 

 lowed in the classification, &c, and that the introduction describes all the 

 best local bird districts with much accuracy." — Nature Lover.
