This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Synoptical List of the Accipitres (Diurnal Birds of Prey): Comprising Species and Subspecies Described Up to 1919, With Their Characters and Distribution IN concluding my work on the Accipitres, a work which I fear has grown far beyond my original intention of publishing a mere list, I have to acknowledge my indebtedness to the sources from which I have received inspiration and help. In the first place I must acknowledge that a good deal of the'systematic part and the generic characters have been borrowed from the late Richard Bowdler Sharpe's Catalogue of the Accipitres in the Collection of the British Museum (1874) of which his annotated copy, laid down on sheets and extended, came into my possession after his death, as also his interleaved copy of the Accipitres portion in Gray's Genera of Birds, upon which he based his 1874 monograph. For permission to make use of the former work I have to thank the Trustees of the British Museum. I have also derived assistance from Mr. W. L. Sclater's work at the British Museum (natural History) in so far as his had preceded mine, and his ms. Catalogue of the skins, which he kindly gave me permission to use. I have also to thank Mr. Bannerman, Mr. Chubb and other assistants at the Museum for help rendered during my studies there. To Lord Rothschild and Dr. Hartert for the use of the superb collections at Tring I am grateful, and to Dr. Hartert especially for much personal assistance. The Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain and a number of other friends have also given me help and encouragement in various ways in what, although an arduous and unprofitable undertaking, will I h0pe be of some permanent help in systematizing this interesting group of birds.

Download or read book List of the Specimens of Birds in the Collection of the British Museum Vol 1 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of the Specimens of Birds in the Collection of the British Museum, Vol. 1: Accipitres The principal object of the present Catalogue has been to give a complete list of the specimens of Birds contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards age, sex, habitation, and the source from whence it has been derived. With this view the different individuals of each species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a, b, c, &c., following the name of the species, and its synonyma. These particulars are followed by the habitat, which is given as particularly as the materials possessed by the Museum permit; but, as many specimens have been procured from dealers, it is often impossible to give the place from whence they are derived, except in the most general terms. When the age of the specimen is not stated, it is to be understood that it is supposed to be full-grown, or nearly so; when otherwise, its state is marked; and if there is any difference by which the sexes are readily distinguishable, or if the point be absolutely ascertained, the specimen is stated to be male or female. Those specimens which have been presented to the Museum have the name of the donor; and in general the collection from whence the specimen has been purchased, or procured in exchange, is also marked, as it often gives some authenticity to its history.

Download or read book Twenty Six Common Birds written by Ralph Hoffmann and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Six Common Birds: To Accompany Audubon Bird Charts This pamphlet is issued by the Massachusetts Audubon Society, for the Protection of Birds, to accompany its Wall Chart of colored drawings of twenty-six common birds. The objects of the society are to discourage the wearing of feathers, except those of the ostrich and domesticated fowls; to establish a Bird Day in conjunction with Arbor Day in the schools; to promote the knowledge of birds in the community and to protect all wild birds and their eggs from needless destruction. The society circulates good literature on the subject, and accurate illustrations of birds. It seeks new members. A new member is added strength for necessary work, and is one more person interested to reform the fashion of wearing feathers of wild birds. The society's publication, "Helps to Bird Study," was favorably received, and it is hoped that this leaflet and the chart will be of further assistance to teachers. The chart should be hung in a conspicuous place on the wall, so that the birds, by inviting constant examination, will become familiar. It should be used to supplement Nature work and general reading whenever convenient. The society is indebted to Mr. Ralph Hoffmann, of Belmont, Mass., for the descriptions of the birds found in this pamphlet, and for his valuable assistance in supervising the preparation of the chart. The illustrations on the chart have been especially drawn for the society by Mr. E. Knobel. The number following the common name of the bird is the number of that bird on the chart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of America, Vol. 1 To the technical descriptive matter of especial interest to the systematic ornithologist, and the popular characterizations intended particularly for the non-scientific student Of birds, has been added wherever it is called for much very important and interesting matter concerning the actual usefulness of birds. This subject of economic ornithology has been carefully investigated by the United States Bureau Of Biological Survey, whose experts have gathered and compiled a great mass of statistics and other data concerning the food habits of birds, the object being to convey precise information as to which are the useful and which are the harmful species. It would be difficult to overstate the value of this work if its results were generally understood, for these researches demonstrate beyond peradventure the enormous usefulness of the birds in destroying insect pests which, but for this check of their natural rate of increase, would ruin every year many millions of dollars worth of crops, and threaten with defoliation and death many kinds of trees.
