which occurred in our neighbourhood, excepting only five— the 
House-Sparrow, Pheasant, Grey and Eed-legged Partridges, and * 
Moor-hen. Hone of these we thought likely to furnish any results 
that would be useful; for had columns been devoted to them, 
there would have been little variety in the entries throughout the 
year. 
All these species also, with us at least, lived so much in de- 
pendence on man, that they could scarcely be regarded as free agents. 
Put respecting every other species, the record was always kept as 
minutely as was expedient or possible. Should our “ Ptegister ” be 
in existence an hundred or even only fifty years hence, we cannot 
but think the inspection of it would jirove interesting to any 
naturalist living at or near the place where it was kept, and could 
other “ Eegisters ” on the same or a similar plan be established in 
other parts of the country, there can hardly be a doubt that some 
curious and unexpected facts would be revealed from a comparison 
of the observations. 
The accompanying lithographs shew (nearly in facsimile) 
two pages of the Eegister above-described as a specimen, and the 
next two pages are a copy of the Summary of the same, such as was 
drawn up at the end of the month. It is not thought necessary 
to insert a copy of the Annual Summary, made at the close of the 
year.
