Edward had also much correspondence with Mr. Alex- 
ander G. More, with respect to the distribution of birds in 
Great Britain during the nesting season. Edward was ap- 
pointed the observer for Banffshire and the northern part 
of Aberdeen. He communicated a great deal of informa- 
tion about birds and birdnesting, which was afterward pub- 
lished in the periodical called The Lbis.

Couch as to fishes; and with Mr. Spence Bate, and the Rev. 
A. Merle Norman, as to crustacea; which will form the sub- 
jects of the following chapters.
