TJic Ge/icra arranged accordiiuj to SuiidcvnW s Method. Fhe Noniei/clatnre 

 revised, according to the Rulers of the Br iti-iJi Association, by 



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



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

 clature, giving Rules of the Britisli Association ; and Classification. Tlie Author 

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

 Dresser, and other well-known Ornithological authOi-ities. The List sliows at 

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

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

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

 veniently be max'ked as an index to a collection either of skins or eggs, or to sliovv 

 species desired in exchange, or ta record the occurrence or nesting of Birds in 

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



The List is meant to comprise those Birds Only winch have, at least once, 

 ond doubt, occm-red in a truly Avild state within the area of the British Islf .s.
