Abstract

(1) WITH the issue of the sixth part Messrs. Mullens and Swann bring to a conclusion their great “Bibliography of British Ornithology,” forming a volume of more than 700 pages. This should, perhaps, be considered as only the first section of the whole work; for hopes are held out that it is to be followed by a geographical bibliography of the same subject, which will be another very laborious and most useful undertaking.
