Tubnbull (William Pattebson), 1830-71 
William Turnbull of Gladsmuir, who was born at Fala, 
Midlothian, June 20, 1830, published the first edition of his 
Birds of East Lothian in Philadelphia 1 ; the records of 
species, many of them rare, being chiefly made during his 
younger days, and very scanty details of most of them were 
given. In 1867 he privately issued at Glasgow a revised 
edition, to which “ some of the recently acquired notes ” 
were supplied by Robert Gray, and “ full use ” was also 
made of the notes communicated by Lord Binning, on 
the rarer birds of East Lothian and Berwickshire. This 
edition was illustrated with lithographs by Frank Bott 
from designs by William Sinclair, the coloured plate being 
by E. Shepherd. It is said that, owing to a fire at the 
publishers, a large portion of the limited issue was destroyed, 
and the work is somewhat scarce. Coues deemed it “ very 
beautifully executed.” Another similar work on the birds 
of East Pennsylvania was also privately printed by this 
author. The present work enumerates 235 species.
