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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Synopsis of the Accipitres (Diurnal Birds of Prey): Comprising Species and Subspecies Described Up to 1920, With Their Characters and Distribution The necessity for a second edition of my work on the Accipitres arose in the first place out of the many corrections called for in the first part of my "Synoptical List," owing to the fact that that first part was rather a compilation than an original work, and in the second place out of the additions and corrections to the whole work that followed upon a more intensive study of the various groups. For this second edition I have had the advantage of consulting Mr. W. Sclater's MS. list of the Accipitres which he prepared for publication in the interval between my two editions, but kindly placed at my disposal on learning of the preparation of my second edition. From Mr. Sclater's MS. list I have received some amount of help with the nomenclature and also with the type species of the genera. I owe also a great measure of thanks to Mr. Outram Bangs, Dr. Chapman, Dr. Richmond, Dr. Wetmore, Dr. Oberholser, Mr. J. H. Riley, and other American friends who assisted me in my work at the American museums last autumn, while the authorities at the Brit. Museum (Nat. Hist.) and at Tring have continued to give me every facility for my work. Even now, I am not sure that I can claim that this second edition, practically re-written as it is, is either complete or perfect, but, so far as human exertion can go, I have striven to make it so, and I leave it to my critics to discover its shortcomings. The signs (*) and ( ) I have prefixed to the numbers in this edition denote respectively that I have skins or eggs in my own collection. Of skins I possess now about 1000 of some 200 different forms, while of eggs I have 1200 of 156 different forms. All others, needless to say, are desiderata.
