 A LIST OP 



BRITISH BIRDS. 



Tlxe Genera arranged according to. Sundevall' s . Method. The NoDioiiclntnrt 

 revised] ciccording to the Hides of the British Association^ by 



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



With 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. 

 Deesser, and other welhknown Ornithological authoifities. The List shows at 

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

 pro j)er scientific designation, and to a certain extent their affinities : it can be 

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

 veniently be m^arked as an index to a collection either of skins or eggs, or to show 

 - species desired in exchange, or to 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 which have at least once, 

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