ABSTRACT THE students of British birds have at last received the two final numbers of the new edition of Yarrell's celebrated work on their favourite subject, which was commenced as

continued by Howard Saunders, F.L.S., F.Z.S. Parts xx.–xxx. (London: Van Voorst.) Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
