BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LONDON BIRDS. 



By Hugh Boyd Watt. 



Annexed is a brief list which is believed to contain entries 

 of the principal works on the above-named subject, but 

 which can probably be amplified, particularly for suburban 

 districts within the area of Greater London. County avi- 

 faunas, such as Harting's ' Birds of Middlesex,' Christy's ' Birds 

 of Essex,' and Bucknill's ' Birds of Surrey,' have not been 

 included.
