Abstract
HARRY KIRKE SWANN died on April 14 in New Barnet, near London, at the age of fifty-four years, after a short illness. He was chiefly known to ornithologists by his excellent books on the bibliography of British birds and his writings on the Accipitres or birds of prey. In 1916 appeared the “Bibliography of British Ornithology,” a volume of 691 pages, which he wrote in collaboration with W. H. Mullens, and in 1919 appeared the “Geographical Bibliography of British Ornithology” in conjunction with W. H. Mullens and the Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain, in 1923 “A Bibliography of British Ornithology from the Earliest Times,” by Kirke Swann alone, a chronological list of British birds, termed a supplement to the above-named bibliography.
