Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Catalogue of Local Lists of British Birds: Arranged Under Counties Lists of the Wild Birds frequenting particular counties or districts are now generally acknowledged to be of considerable value as contributions towards a complete knowledge of the Birds of Great Britain and Ireland. These lists have now become so numerous that it is time some attempt were made to compile a systematic catalogue or bibliography of them, especially as many of them are difficult of access, through their having been published either in the Transactions or Journals of local Societies, or in pamphlet form, or are almost unknown, because hidden away in old County Histories, local Topographies or Guide-books. The following is, I believe, a first attempt in this direction. Jam, however, self-confident enough to believe that it is pretty nearly complete and that little or nothing of any importance has been overlooked. In any case, it will serve as a basis on which to erect, if possible, a more satisfactory structure. The system on which I have worked requires a few words of explanation. The titles of the works catalogued are arranged chronologically under counties, the latter being divided under England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The details are entered in the following order: - Surname of author, Christian name (in parentheses), as much of the title as is necessary for identification, the name of the magazine or volume in which the article or list in question appeared (if not separately published), place of publication, shape, and date, followed in many cases by a few brief remarks on the work catalogued. The date of publication has, contrary to custom, been placed after the size and shape, for convenience of reference. In the case of magazine articles, or of lists which form portions only of larger works, the title of the magazine or work of which they form part has been given in italics, for the sake of distinction.
