Excerpt from Jottings About Birds The following pages deal with bird-life under many aspects and in various lands. Notwithstanding this latter fact, I have no hesitation in saying that the chapters dealing with a more cosmopolitan ornithology appeal even to the reader whose researches embrace British birds alone. No student of ornithology can well confine his work to the birds of a single region, or even of many regions, for he will invariably find that the deeper he attacks his subject the wider he will have to roam. This applies not only to affinities, but to habits and instincts as well. I am heartily glad to see a growing taste for this wider study amongst British naturalists, especially in the younger generation, it is a healthy sign, and will serve to place the work of the future on a sound foundation.
