  • Mathew, M A, a Revised List of the Birds of Somerset, Part II, Volume 39
    9 IRetHseO Ht0t of tfce T6ttO0 of Somerset BY THE REV. MURRAY A. MATHEW, M.A., F.L.S. Vicar of Buckland Dinham, Member of the British Ornitho- logists' Union, and one of the authors of" The Birds of DevonT WHEN Mr. Cecil Smith published his Birds of Somerset, in 1869, he was able to record but 217 species, to which he subsequently added ten others in a list contributed by him to Vol. xvi of the Transactions of the Somerset Archaaological and Natural History Society (for 1870), thus bringing the total number of birds for Somerset to 227. But even this number appears inadequate to repre- sent the Ornis of so large a county as Somerset, when it is compared with the lists which have been made out for the adjoining counties. Thus for Wiltshire, a county which comes far behind Somerset in geographical importance, as it possesses no coast line, the Rev. A. Smith was able to . C. enumerate 235 species ; in Dorsetshire, Col. Mansel-Pleydell, as was to be expected, had a fuller list, numbering 254 species, to which we are able to add three others, thus bringing the Dorsetshire county birds to a total of 257 ; while for Devon- shire, which has a sea frontage both on the north and south, as many as 300 species can be claimed. With the wild tract of Exmoor Forest and its beautiful fringe of woods ; with the Quantocks, the Blagdon Hills, the Mendip and other hills ; with the curious peat-moor district, occupying the centre of ; A Revised List of the Birds of Somerset.
