Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of British Birds Eggs After the shortening days of autumn and the bitter winds of winter, what a thrill of pleasurable emotion do the simplest harbingers of Spring excite, - the budding hedges, the first pale primrose or scented violet, springing in copsewood, amid the amber shoots of richest velvet moss! "Nor rural sights alone, but rural sounds, Exhilarate the spirit;" the warble of the Hedge Sparrow, or the Thrush's song in the early morning, as, with spotted breast turned to the sun, he pours from some tree-top his noble melody.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 3: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs We may therefore leave the question of the classification of birds to the decision of the future, and, whilst recognizing its supreme import ance, regard it as a subject somewhat outside the scope of our present inquiry. The progress of ornithology in Britain may be conveniently studied in periods - the first comprising a century, the second half a century, and the third, fourth, and fifth each a quarter of a century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds' Eggs and Nests The principle adopted in the illustrations has been to omit all representations of eggs either white or nearly white in colour, in order to husband space for the admission of a greater number of those char acterised by varied colours and markings. On the same ground, although it was earnestly desired by the artist to give more than one representation of some of the very marked variations occurring in the eggs of several species, he has been compelled to content him self with selecting and figuring the most typical or normal forms in all such cases. All the illustrations given have been carefully drawn from unquestionable specimens, and Mr. Coleman desires to acknowledge in this place the assistance which, in this matter, has been afforded him by that excellent and accurate practical naturalist, Mr. F. Bond. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Download or read book British Birds Their Eggs written by J. Maclair Boraston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds Their Eggs: With a New Method of Identification Tms book has been written with the exclusively practi cal object of enabling persons unacquainted with British birds to identify them by their most obvious characteristics. Handbooks hitherto designed for this purpose have, by classi tying the birds according to genera and species, or by arranging them merely in alphabetical order, failed to meet this need. For it is obvious that a beginner who wishes to identify a bird he has observed for the first time, and therefore one of which he does not know the name, cannot turn up the de scription of it by the aid of an alphabetical list. Nor can he be expected to know where to turn to find it in a book wherein birds are grouped according to generic distinctions, about which as yet he knows nothing! The observations of beginners relate to broad distinctions of colour and markings, then to peculiarities in the gestures and notes of birds, and so on, and it is only by seeking to see birds with the eye of a beginner that one can assist him to the knowledge of what he does not know, as a natural development from what he himself may observe with no other equipment than his own eyes. Any other method involves an attempt to explain the unknown by what is equally unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 2: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs The results of the investigation are not quite so satisfactory as might have been expected. There are so many cases which cannot be explained by protective selection, that the student, not being able in this instance to fall back upon sexual selection, is obliged to assume that many effects are the results of extinct causes. To my mind they are suggestive rather of other powerful factors in addition to protective and sexual selection H. S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Systematic Catalogue of the Eggs of British Birds: Arranged With a View to Supersede the Use of Labels for Eggs The object of this Catalogue is, to offer a substitute for the prevalent use of printed labels for eggs. An Oologist who feels how important it is that every egg in his collection should bear a distinctive mark, to prevent its being mistaken for some other species like it in colour or in shape, will have experienced also the great inconvenience which arises from the common practice of labelling eggs, for the purpose of distinguishing them. Not only do labels disfigure the larger specimens, to which alone they are applicable, but they become altogether useless as regards the smaller eggs; since, in that case, they prove considerably larger than the eggs for which they were intended. Nor is the other method preferable, of writing in ink upon the smaller eggs, either the name, or a number corresponding with a catalogue of the collection. For, writing spoils the appearance of an egg as much as a label does; and in the event of an error, the name or the number cannot be rubbed out without risk of injuring the egg.
