INTRODUCTION, 
xxix. 
Scott-Montagu, M.P., have interested themselves 
largely in the compilation of this volume, and 
have afforded us every opportunity of studying 
the avi-fauna of their most interesting Manor of 
Beaulieu. 
The Earl of Normanton, Somerley, Ringwood. 
Mr. A. Paris, Becton House, New Milton. 
Mr. H. F. Poole, Shanklin, has given us a large 
amount of information about Isle of Wight birds, 
and has expended much time and trouble with 
this object, having compiled and furnished us with 
a very complete list of the birds of the eastern 
side of the island. 
The Earl of Portsmouth, Hurstbourne Park, near 
Whitchurch. 
Dr. H. V. Rake, Fordingbridge, allowed us access to 
the collection of eggs of his father, as well as to 
the manuscript catalogue of the same, which 
supplied much valuable information ; we were 
thus enabled to see the original specimens men- 
tioned in Wise's work on the New Forest. 
Mr. H. E. Raynbird, Hackwood, Basingstoke. 
Dr. P. L. Sclater, M. A., F.R.S., F.Z.S., Odiham Priory, 
Winchfield, without whose encouragement and 
assistance the work would never have been com- 
piled. His list of birds in Deacon's Court Guide 
has been of considerable value to us, and we have 
quoted from it frequently. 
Mr. J. Stares, M.B.O.U., Porchester. 
Mr. G. Orby Sloper, West Woodhay House, Newbury. 
Mr. F. Smith, Mill Hill, Cowes, Isle of Wight. 
Mr. W. H. Smith, 71, Galveston Road, Putney, S.W. 
Mr T. Thistlethwaite, Southwick Park, Fareham.
