Abstract
IT is a coincidence that I should be able to review this attractive bird book, because, not long before his death, the author wrote to me. In his letter he mentioned that he had been reading a book, “Wild Birds in Britain”, which I had written about that time, and he had been, he said, greatly impressed by the resemblance between that book and the manuscript he had written. He said he felt that he might well have been the author of my book, and he felt he must write and tell me this lest, if ever his manuscript should appear in print (he was very doubtful of this at the time) I should know that he had not been copying my own style and treatment of the subject.
