Synopsis
Excerpt from The Birds of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire: A Contribution to the Natural History of the Two Counties
Middlesex, ' and the 'birds of Norfolk.' I now am pleased to be able to add to the list the 'birds of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.' I trust that, ere long, we shall be presented with accounts of the Avi-fauna of many other counties, and that our labour, by being thus divided, will be found more perfectly executed.
Although I have closely adhered to the nomencla ture of Yarrell in the following pages, I have availed myself of a method similar to that proposed by the editor of the Zoologist, Mr. Edward Newman, in an appendix to the 'letters of Rusticus on Natural History, ' and one which, I think, if more generally adopted by Ornithologists, would do much towards helping a stranger to form a general idea of the Birds of a particular district.
