Excerpt from A Handbook of British Birds: Showing the Distribution of the Resident and Migratory Species in the British Islands; With an Index to the Records of the Rarer Visitants
To supply these particular necessities is the object of the present work; and on this account no attempt has been made to travel beyond the limits indicated by giving descriptions of the species or dilating upon their haunts, habits, seasonal changes of plumage, migrations, or geographical distribution. These and many other details may be derived from the sources above mentioned, and will doubtless be worked out more fully and more satisfactorily than ever in the forthcoming new edition of Yarrell's work, for which English naturalists are anxiously expectant.
Under these circumstances it is hoped that this Handbook will be regarded not in any sense as intended to rival or supplant existing or forthcoming text-books on the subject, but to assist students in a manner and to an extent which has not been contemplated in the works referred to. The claims of species to rank as British, the proper scientific names which each should bear, the habitat of the rarer visitants, and the frequency or otherwise of their occurrence are points to which attention is almost exclusively directed in the following pages. To obtain accurate and reliable details upon these points no labour has been spared, no source of information neglected; and although it is not pretended that no errors have escaped detection, yet it is believed that upon investigation these will be found to be but few and comparatively unimportant. In a great measure this must be said to be due to the assistance which the author has derived from his friends and fellow workers in the field of ornithology during the time that the work has been in progress; and on this account his thanks are especially due to Professor Newton, Mr. J. H. Gurney, Mr. J. H. Gurney, jun., Mr. Stevenson, and Mr. Robert Gray, all of whom have cooperated, at no inconsiderable expenditure of time and trouble, in replying to numerous inquiries, and furnishing important information.
