Synopsis
Excerpt from The Birds of Lancashire, Vol. 2
This book has been written mainly as a chapter on geographical distribution, a subject which of late years has deservedly received a large share of attention from naturalists, and which when thoroughly worked out for the whole of the British Islands, may be expected to show results both interesting and valuable. It may well be doubted whether the system of taking the counties as limits is not an exceedingly ill-chosen one; but research has in so many instances progressed on these lines, and local enthusiasm is so much more readily stimulated in this direction, that scarcely any choice is left for those portions of the country whose faunal condition yet waits investigation. It can hardly be denied that it would have been far better if, in the division of the ground for local work, regard had been had to physical configuration, and the river valleys, the mountain chains, and the sea-coasts had been taken as boundaries by observers; but the compiler of some future day will have to gather these results for himself, and to collate and compare from this and like histories, whose limits of observation are so arbitrarily defined.
