Excerpt from Illustrations of British Ornithology, Vol. 2 In the system so ably developed by Mr Vigors, in his Treatise on the Affinities which connect the Orders and Families of Birds, this constitutes his fourth Order, being analogous to the Grall of Latham and others, and holding the intermediate station between the Rasores or Gallinaceous Birds, and the Natatores or true Aquatics. In addition to the various genera of the order Grall of other systems, which was placed at the head of the second great Division or Aves Aquatics, it contains some of the genera arranged in the Order Pinnatipedes of Latham, as Fulica, Phalaropus, &c. and also others which, from the development of the membrane connecting the toes, had been included amongst the Palmipedes or Swimmers, but whose real affinities clearly point them out as more intimately connected with the members of this Order; such are the Genera Plicenicopterus, Recurvirostra, &c.

Excerpt from Illustrations of British Ornithology, Vol. 1 In this latter respect, I trust candid readers will not charge against me as a fault the large share of egotism that seems to pervade this volume; of two evils, I certainly would rather chuse to rest under this imputation, than that of being a downright compiler. As to the style, I have endeavoured, as far as lay in my power, to unite conciseness and perspicuity with that plain didactic manner in which I conceive all works on scientific subjects should be written.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 2: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs The results of the investigation are not quite so satisfactory as might have been expected. There are so many cases which cannot be explained by protective selection, that the student, not being able in this instance to fall back upon sexual selection, is obliged to assume that many effects are the results of extinct causes. To my mind they are suggestive rather of other powerful factors in addition to protective and sexual selection H. S.

Excerpt from History of British Birds, Vol. 2: Containing the History and Description of Water Birds To point out the paths which lead to happiness, however remote they may lie from common observation, and at the same time to forewarn the inexperienced stranger against approaching those which terminate in vice and misery, is a task worthy of the most enlightened understanding.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Ibis, 1890, Vol. 2: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology A preface is, we suppose, necessary for the thirty second, as for the preceding volumes of' the ibis, ' but we need not detain our readers long on the present occasion. It will perhaps be observed that the second volume of the Sixth Series of this Journal is not quite so bulky as those which immediately precede it; but it will be allowed, we trust, that it does not fall behind them in interest or variety. By the list of contri butors it will be seen that the Editor has received valuable support from many of the older members of the British Ornithologists' Union, for which he begs leave to tender them his most hearty thanks. He would, however, venture to suggest that some of the younger members, by whose names the roll of the B. O. U. Is annually increased, should take a more decided interest in our favourite subject. It is diffi cult, no doubt, and becomes every year more difficult, to find new ground to work and new birds to describe.

Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 2 of 4: With Eighty Plates in Colour, Showing Over Four Hundred Species According to the new List of British Birds published by The British Ornithologists' Union (zud ed. The latest and most authoritative work on the subject, to which I am indebted for much information, the typical form of the carrion-crow breeds commonly in western Europe as far east as the Elbe, in Switzerland, Bohemia, the highlands of Austria and upper Italy. It occurs occasionally in other parts of Europe. Its range extends eastwards to western Siberia, where Seebohm found it interbreeding with the Hooded Crow. Breeding later in the year than the Rook or Raven, the carrion-crow has its nest completed by the end of April, either building a new one or returning to its home of former years. This is usually placed in a tree or on some ledge of rock, and is built of sticks and warmly lined with moss, wool, feathers, and hair. When the nest has been occupied for several years in succession, it becomes large and bulky owing to the frequent addition of materials. The eggs, varying in number from four to six, have the ground colour of a pale bluish-green, spotted and blotched with umber or olive-brown and shades of purplish-grey. Like the rest Of its family, the carrion-crow will eat almost any food which comes to hand, and devours great numbers of the eggs and young of other birds, sometimes also attacking and killing leverets and even newly-born lambs when it gets the opportunity. It keenly searches the sea-shore for mussels and other shell-fish, of which it is extremely fond, and in order to Open these easily will rise to some height and drop its booty on a stone or rock, thus fracturing the shell. The ordinary cry of the carrion-crow is a harsh grating croak, varying in tone, but not so deep as the Raven's nor so soft as the Rook's.
