'J'H IS sixth volume of the Carlisle Natural History Society’s publications was projected to fill a gap in local literature by forming a complete catalogue of Lakeland birds and showing the changes in their status and distribution since 1892. It was in that year that the Rev. H. A. Macpherson, first president of the Society, produced his Vertebrate Fauna of Lakeland, which has so long remained a standard work of reference. Birds of Lakeland had taken manuscript form as a successor to the ornithological section of the Fauna in 1939, when the out­ break of war caused it to be shelved. The delay has provided a gain of historical value among the additional notes garnered dur­ ing the past four years and now incorporated. Particularly does this apply to the birds resorting to the coastal cliffs of St. Bees Head. Following upon the separation of local races, the present work names 292 birds for Lakeland, three of them, the Greenland Red­ poll, Bonaparte’s Sandpiper and Broad-billed Sandpiper, doubt­ fully considered. Records of bygone residents and rare visitors are recapitulated from the Fauna, which gives 263 species, among them, however, the one time much debated Polish Swan. Classification and nomenclature are according to Witherby’s Handbook of British Birds, 1938-41. The terms resident, visitor and passage-migrant, qualified or not, are used as applying to Lakeland. The growing changes in Lakeland bird life began to claim attention soon after the death of the writer of the Fauna, which took place in 1901. Eric B. Dunlop of Troutbeck, Westmorland, who presided over the Society in 1913-14, was up to that time adding to his personal studies by collecting information from a number of correspondents with a view to publication. He died in action in France on 19 May 1917, while serving as a lieutenant in the Border Regiment. His paper, Lakeland Ornithology 1892- 1913, appears in the third volume of the Society’s Transactions, 2 THE BIRDS OF LAKELAND. 1923, where it is accompanied by an appendix by Linnaeus E. Hope, in whose charge the manuscript had been left. Specialised accounts of Lakeland birds, by various members, also appear in the four other published volumes of Transactions. The need for a new account of all the birds of Lakeland had constantly been before the Society during the time in which it had been engaged in producing other faunal records compiled by its members. When eventually it was able to begin this new work, compilation was delegated to the four members under whose names it appears. Lifelong students of Lakeland birds, their individual notes had been written in the hope that they would one day help towards an effort of this kind. These notes, together with the entries in the minute books of the Society, were augmented at the outset when the Chairman and Committee of the Carlisle Public Library, Museum and Art Gallery granted full access to the bird specimens and records in their care. Mindful of a thoroughly representative work, the Society issued the necessary appeals for the further information required. These met with a whole-hearted and generous response from con­ tributors resident throughout Lakeland and further afield. Several large contributions received in kindly help have materially strengthened the work. Myles Archibald has supplied bird notes made by his father, the late C. F. Archibald, on birds in the Rusland district, North Lancashire, and dating back to last century. Miss E. S. Bolam has made and sent extracts referring to Lakeland from the journals of her brother, the late George Bolam. R. H. Brown has included in an extensive series of notes an extra measure of interest in the vertical range of many species. Sir Hugh Gladstone has allowed the use of collected records originally intended for the purpose of a work on the fauna of the Solway. Early in the progress, the Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain lent E. B. Dunlop’s diaries containing notes on Lakeland birds dating from 1902 to 1914. These diaries, together with the notebooks and journals of the late Mr Jourdain, have been presented by his executors to the Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology. THE BIRDS OF LAKELAND. 3 Mrs Nichol and Miss Nichol, wife and daughter, have lent the written records of the late William Nichol, whose observations, supplemented by those of James Storey, have, over the periods of two long lives entirely spent there, largely built up the bird history of the Cumberland Solway. The portraits of these veteran wildfowlers and bird observers are included as some tribute to two men whom so many have been proud to know, and also to preserve a memory of the lives and activities of the passing race of indigenous Solway punt-gunners. Dr M. S. Wood has given considerable help towards the ac­ counts of the Pied Flycatcher and the Game-birds, including Snipe and Woodcock, and also supplied the frontispiece. H. Wright has contributed the notes made by his father, the late T. B. Wright of Gaisgill, Westmorland, a recorder of bird life in one of the more remote districts. In other directions, the Society is indebted to an anonymous donor for generously defraying the greater part of the cost of a separate map of the “Faunal Area of Lakeland” ; to the President for a handsome contribution towards the cost of printing, and to the late Rev. E. U. Savage for literary help and guidance. In presenting by name all the contributors, the Carlisle Natural History Society gratefully acknowledges their aid towards the work now completed, on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary.

  • This Parish Occupies an Extensive Tract in the North-Eastern Corner Of
    DUFTON PARISH. 183 ) • Area, according to Ordnance Survey, 16,848 acres; area under assessment, 4,266 acres. Rateable value, £4,542; population, 414. • This parish occupies an extensive tract in the north-eastern corner of the county, stretching from the confines of Durham west­ ward a distance of about eight miles, and from north to south about five miles. It is bounded on the north by Milbourn Forest; on the west by Long Marton ; on the south by Bongate parish ; and on the east by the river Tees, which here expands into a fine broad sheet of water called The Wheel. From this lake the water is precipitated down a steep incline ; and from its resemblance to the discharge of a liquid from some huge vessel, the fall has been named Caldron Snout. Numerous offshoots from the Pennine Range and other detached mountain masses cover the parish, giving it a decidedly Alpine -character. Among these hills are reared great numbers of a superior breed of black-faced mountain sheep. Though wanting in those picturesque and romantic effects which form such attractive features in much of the mountain scenery of the lake land, there are several pleasing patches of landscape and other intere10ting spots in this dis­ trict well worthy of notice. Of late years the locality has been much frequented by tourists on their way to the lakes from the counties of Durham and Yorkshire. The route generally taken is by way of High Force to Caldron Snout, then up Maize at the base of Mickle Fell, and across Hycup (High Cup) plain (where perchance the traveller may experience the effects of the remarkable Helm wind) to Hycup Gill, one of the grandest sights in the Pennines.
