APPENDIX. 



The following extracts are from unpublished manuscripts of 

 W. Markwick, Esq., of Catsfield, near Battle, of the 

 existence of which I was fortunate enough to be made 

 aware while this book was in the press. The ornithological 

 portion of them consists of three folio volumes, containing 

 coloured drawings and descriptions of 136 British Birds. 

 There are also, in these same volumes, notices and figures of 

 a few Quadrupeds, Reptiles, and Crustacea, and descriptions 

 of Fish, without figures ; two or three folio volumes con- 

 taining drawings and descriptions of Wild Plants, far better 

 executed than those of the Birds, all relating to Sussex, and 

 dating from 1793 to 1805, written partly at Catsfield and partly 

 at Denne Park ; one manuscript volume of Mr. Linnseus' 

 ' Birds of Sweden,' and several of Natural History extracts 

 from the works of numerous travellers. All these are in the 

 possession of Mrs. Eversfield, of Denne Park, near Horsham, 

 who most courteously gave me permissioii to make such 

 extracts as I should think suitable. It may not be generally 

 known that Mr. Markwick married Miss Eversfield, of Denne 

 Park, of which he eventually became the owner, and took 

 the name of Eversfield. 



The following description of the Dark-Brown Hawk, or 

 Buzzard, differs somewhat from the coloured figure, which 

 more resembles the Honey Buzzard than any other of the 

 genus; but this species does not worry Rooks, and is 

 not in this country in the winter, neither do the given 

 dimensions agree with those of the Honey or any other
