Phipson (Emma), viv. (?) 
Although this lady, as she informs us in her preface, 
“ relinquishes all claim to originality,” she has nevertheless 
compiled a work of considerable interest and importance to 
ornithologists, the list of “ Authors and Editions quoted ” 
being moreover a useful guide to the zoological history of the 
period. She has also written a work on Choir Stalls and their 
Carvings (1896).

Pidsley (William E Helm an), 1867-1905 
In addition to the undernoted, this author wrote a few 
fugitive notes and articles in various minor journals. He had 
at one time, we believe, a small collection of British birds. 
He was resident at Exeter while writing the Birds of Devon- 
shire , and afterwards removed to the north of England.
