THE BIRDS OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE, 
By Albert H. Waters, B.A. 
(Continued from page 135J 
EFORE continuing my list of the passerine birds I 
have to make an explanation regarding a statement 
in my account of the hawks, which statement one 
of the members of the Practical Naturalists’ Society 
thinks somewhat extraordinary. Before proceeding, then, I- 
will say a few words 
More about the Raptures. 
The complete MS. of my notes on the Birds of Cambridge¬ 
shire is far too bulky for insertion in a magazine of the size of 
the Naturalists’ Journal, unless I took up more space than the 
editor could possibly spare me, and continued my account 
through three or four volumes. I have had therefore to con- 
dense it largely and it has happened in doing so that a slip of 
the pen has been made, and as I did not see a proof before the 
article appeared in the magazine, it escaped correction and 
constitutes an erratum on page no, voh I, line 42, where 
u even ” should be read for “ especially.” 
As originally written the last paragraph but one on that page 
ran * 
The commoner hawks, such as the kestrel and the sparrow hawk are not infrequent. 
. . . the hobby mry also be sometimes seen and, what is especially noteworthy, hobbies 
have even been seen in winter, for I have it on the authority of a well known Newmarket 
naturalist that several of these beautiful little hawks were seen at Newmarket at the 
end of the winter of 1892. 
In hurreidly abbreviating the above paragraph it happened 
that the word “ especially ” was retained and “ even ” deleted.
