 A LIST OF

The Genera arranged according to " SundevalV s Method. The Nomenclature 

 revised^ according to the Rules of the British dissociation, by 



HENRY THORNTON WHARTON. M.A., M.R.C.S.. F.Z.S. 



Vrith an Introduction treating of — The Limits of the British Avifauna ; Nomen- 

 clature, giving Rules of the British Association ; and Classification, The Author 

 has incorporated the latest results of the researches of Professor Newton, Mr. 

 Dresser, and other well-known Ornithological authorities. The List shows at 

 a-glance what Birds may rightly be considered British, their English name and 

 proper scientific designation, and to a certain extent their afiinities : it can be 

 compared with similar Lists of the Birds of other countries ; it can con- 

 veniently be marked as an index to a collection either of skins or eggs, or to show 

 si^ecies desired in exchange, or to record the occurrence or nesting of Birds in 

 particular localities j and the names can be cut out and used as Labels. 



The List is meant to comprise those Birds only which have at least once, 

 beyond doubt, occurred in a truly wild state within the area of the British Isles,
