386 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



BIBLIOGEAPHY OF LONDON BIRDS. 

 Supplementary to List in ' The Zoologist,' 1909, pp. 15-16. 



By Hugh Boyd Watt. 



The under-noted items of literature are additions to the 

 above-mentioned list, and fulfil the anticipation of amplification 

 expressed when it was published. 



The area covered has been somewhat extended, but none of 

 the localities included has any less claim to be considered 

 London than has Richmond, which found admission into the 

 first list. If any further justification of this extension is re- 

 quired, it may be found in the likelihood that in a few years all 

 these districts are likely to be engirt by Greater London. 



It should be stated that the naturalist columns of ' The 

 Field ' have not been gone through. So many valuable and 

 original observations and notes on the topic are to be found 

 there that a subject-index would be necessary to do them justice 

 and make them adequately available. Neither have newspapers 

 been drawn upon, although original and informing contributions 

 are not unknown, such as the excellent article on "Wild Birds 

 in London " in the ' Times ' of March 27th, 1909 ; nor works 

 like Mrs. Evelyn Cecil's 'London Parks and Gardens' (1907), 

 where the information about birds is from other sources. 



Mr. J. E. Harting has kindly read my list, and I am much 

 indebted to him for suggestions and information.
