able to determine the exact ranges of many species in a manner 
that would have been impossible a few years ago. These ranges 
are given for all British species in the new edition of Yarrell’s 
History of British Birds now in course of publication under the 
editorship of Professor Newton, while those of all European 
birds are given in still more detail in Mr. Dresser’s beautiful 
work on the Birds of Europe, just completed. In order to 
confine our examination within reasonable limits, and at the 
same time give it the interest attaching to familiar objects, we 
will take the whole series of British Passeres or perching birds 
given in Professor Newton’s work (118 in number) and arrange 
them in series according to the extent of their range. These 
include not only the permanent residents and regular migrants 
to our country, but also those which occasionally straggle here, so 
that it really comprises a large proportion of all European birds.
