with is. of course, only a small portion of the county, extending from ClyfEe 

 Pypard and Barbury on the north to Bishops Cannings and Martinsell on 

 the south, touching Ogbourne St. George and Mildenhall on the east, and 

 Calne and Heddington on the west ; hut it is safe to say that within this 

 area — and archseologically speaking it is an extremely important area — the 

 work which the author set before him has been done exhaustively, and all 

 future investigators will base their enquiries on the Great Map and its 

 companion the Guide, in which even now many barrows and earthworks are 

 recorded which have, alas ! disappeared for ever. 



The book was reviewed at length in Wilts Arch. Mag., xxiii., 59 — 68. 

 by the Rev. R. C. Clutterhuck. 



The Birds of Wiltshire, comprising all the Periodical 

 and Occasional Visitants, as well as those which 



are indigenous tO the County. Published for the Author 

 by R, H. Porter, 6, Tenterden St., London, W. ; and H. F. Bull, Devizes. 

 1887. Cloth. 8vo. pp. xxv., 588. 



The book contains the substance of the papers on the " Ornithology of 

 Wilts " published by the author in the earlier volumes of the Wiltshire 

 Archaeological Magazine, thrown together in book form, partly re-written, 

 and with a large amount of additional information. Each species known to 

 have occurred in the county is described, and in the case of the rarer birds 

 the various instances in which they are known to have been seen or killed 

 are recorded. It is now, and doubtless will for a long while continue to be, 

 the authority on the subject of which it treats.
