He died January 30, 1906. He states in the preface to 
the first-mentioned work below, that “for such minute and 
original observations of the wild life of the White Horse 
country I have to thank my brother, the Rev. J. G. Cornish, 
of Lockinge, whose notes on the wild life of the Berkshire 
Downs, and of other parts of England, have been constantly 
at my service.” Many of the articles in the book, it should 
be stated, first appeared in the Spectator, to which Mr. 
Cornish contributed for many years.

The undermentioned little work was published anony- 
mously. We take the title from Coues, who remarks that 
“ this little treatise on British migrants is, we are told, but 
a fragment of nearly 200 chapters on Natural History which 
the author had prepared when he put it out as a feeler,” and 
adds that it was “ the labour of thirteen years.”
