Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Index-Catalogue of the Birds in the Hancock Collection
The words left, centre, right, upper, middle, lower, etc., after the small numbers indicate the position of the Birds in each case from the observer's point of view. These words are fol lowed by short notes referring to each individual Bird in the case, recording as far as possible, the age, state of plumage, time and place of capture and by whom obtained, with explanatory remarks by Mr. Hancock when they were thought necessary.
