Watters (John J ), ca. 1853 
Watters supplied a good deal of information to Thompson 
for the volumes on birds in the Natural History of Ireland, 
and it was at Thompson’s wish that he published the under- 
noted work, that naturalist, whose friend Watters was, having 
“ expressed a desire to see a cheap work on the subject 
published.”
