A life of this writer, who hardly claims notice as an 
ornithologist — his passages on birds being compiled — is pre- 
fixed to his works, while another long account will be found

at Gilminscroft in the parish of Sorn, Ayrshire, where his 
father was then grieve and land- steward, and was apprenticed

a traveller, a naturalist, and an antiquary. It is, of course,

in the following notice. 
He was born on May 11, 1822, at Eglingham, near Alnwick, 
of which his father, the Rev. H. B. Tristram, was at that 
time Vicar. He was educated at Durham School, and after-
