Excerpt from The Birds of Somerset Hills My aim in writing this book has been to gather together the facts observed by me concerning bird-life in the Somerset Hills. I have used only the common names of the birds, except in the complete list in Chapter XIII, where the scientific names are also given. Whatever I shall attain by the writing of this book, I owe to the help and encouragement of my Mother and Father. I am greatly indebted to Mr. C. William Beebe for his valuable criticism and advice. I also wish especially to thank Miss Lilian G. Cook for her great interest and assistance in my bird-work. The colored plates are the work of Mr. Chester A. Reed.

Excerpt from Tales of the Birds There is a certain quiet bit of land, just where two midland counties meet, that is in winter a favourite resort Of the fieldfares. There they find all they need - the hedges are usually bright with hips, and with the darker crimson berries of the hawthorn the fields are all pasture-meadows, and the grass is tufty and full of insects; a little stream winds snake-like through the fields, hidden by an overarching growth Of briar and bramble. NO well-worn path crosses these meadows, and you may count on being undisturbed if you sit for a few minutes, to enjoy the winter sunshine and.

Excerpt from The Birds of Sussex It is now nearly a hundred years since Markwick, the friend and correspondent of Gilbert White, read before the Linnean Society, on May 5th, 1795, his 'Catalogue of Birds found in the county of Sussex, ' numbering 168 species, including those which are domesticated. About the year 1800, Mr. Woolgar, of Lewes, made a list of birds observed by him in that neighbourhood, which may be found in Horsfield's 'History of Lewes.' In 1849, Mr. Knox published the first edition, and in 1855 the third, of his 'Ornithological Rambles in Sussex, ' quoted in this work as "O. R." Since that time, as far as I am aware, no attempt has been made to give a comprehensive account of its avifauna; there are, however, several local Societies, - as those of Brighton, Chichester, Eastbourne, Hastings, and Lewes, - which, from time to time, publish their 'Transactions, ' and doubtless do good work in their respective districts. There is also a Museum at Chichester, and one at Brighton, as well as the splendidly mounted collection of the late Mr. Booth, recently made over to. that town. There have been, and there still are, many accurate observers who contribute accounts of interesting occurrences in the county to the pages of 'The Zoologist, ' especially Mr. Button, Mr. Jeffery, Mr. Monk, and Mr. Wilson, who for many years have been its correspondents.
