Abstract
THIS forms a companion chart to “Tracks of British Animals,” already noticed in these columns, and follows the same general lines. Four categories of birds are represented, namely, swamp birds, ground birds, perching birds, and birds of the seashore, each with about ten examples. The tracks are reproduced life-size, and a few brief explanatory notes on the general subject are given at the foot of the chart. Organisations such as Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, in which instruction in the craft of the country side occupies a good deal of attention, will find this chart invaluable, and it will be welcomed by teachers of Nature Study in schools as a most useful aid to the teaching and cultivation of powers of observation. The use of the word mavis as the common name of the song-thrush is, we believe, only general north of the Tweed, and we suggest the addition of the latter name for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the Scotch term.
