APPENDIX. ?ii 



We wiih that. any thing we could fay* would 

 induce others of our countrymen to follow their 

 example : they need not fear that the matter is 

 exhaufted, for every county will furnifh new obfer- 

 vations ; each of which, when compared, will ferve 

 to ftrengthen and confirm the other. Such an 

 amufement is worthy of every one, beneath none ; 

 but would become no order of men better than our 

 clergy, as they are (or ought to be) the bed 

 qualified, and the moft ftationary part of the com- 

 munity -, and, as this is a mixed fpecies of ftudy 

 (when confidered as phyfico- theology) it is there- 

 fore particularly pertinent to their profeflion. A 

 moft ingenious friend, whom modefty prevents 

 from putting his name to a work that renders ob- 

 fervations of this kind of the utmoft facility, has 

 pointed out the way, and methodized every remark 

 that can occur ; the farmer, the fportfman, and the 

 philofopher, will be led to the choice of materials 

 proper to be inferted in that ufeful companion, the 

 Naturalift's Journal*. 



From the obfervations of our friends, from thofe 

 made by ourfelves, and from the lights afforded 

 us by preceding writers, we mail, in the brief re- 

 lation we can pretend to give, proceed in a generi- 

 cal order, and as far as pofiible, trace each fpecies 

 of bird to its retreat.
