Excerpt from A New List of Chilian BirdsMY much esteemed friend the late Harry Berkeley James and I had some time ago formed a plan to prepare a work on the Birds of Chili, a subject in which he took very great interest, as a sort of companion Volume to that on 'argentine Ornithology by Mr. W. H. Hudson and myself.In furtherance of this object, in the beginning of the present year James proceeded to compile from our mss. A new list of the Birds of Chili as a basis for future Work. Several appoint ments made to meet and settle this list were frustrated by James's serious illness, and at the time of his death (on the 22nd of July last) the list still remained in type, awaiting final revision. This revision, at the request of Mrs. James, I have now had the melancholy satisfaction of completing. In offering it, on behalf of Mrs. James, to his companions of the British Ornithologists' Union I think that I cannot do better than preface it with a short biography of our deceased associate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
