Davies (George Christopher), vivf 1 . 
This author appears to have devoted little attention to 
ornithology. As an editor of White’s Selborne he claims 
notice here, and in his Norfolk Broads and Rivers there is a 
short chapter (3 pp.) on birds, and a still shorter passage in 
the various editions of Handbook to the Rivers and Broads of 
Norfolk and Suffolk. He has, in addition to the undernoted, 
written various popular works, including two or three on 
yachting and boat-sailing.
