Egberts (George), cct . 1863-85 
Local inquiries have failed to gain us any personal in- 
formation regarding this writer. Lofthouse, the locality 
chiefly dealt with by him in his book, is in the vicinity of 
Wakefield. His work contains in each volume two parts, 
one comprising topographical and the other rural notes, the 
latter containing very numerous references to local birds. 
These observations are principally the author’s own, but 
he acknowledges assistance from various Yorkshire naturalists. 
The work contains a mass of information and is held in 
esteem.
