Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ibis, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology; 1871
IT was not without hesitation that, in compliance with the request of my valued friend and predecessor Professor newton, I offered my services as Editor of a Third Series of this Journal, when he from pressure of other engagements was obliged to re sign the post. I felt considerable difiidence in my powers to carry on the ibis with ability at all equal to that which has supported it during the twelve years of its existence. Though I trust that fewer defects will be found in future Volumes, I still h0pe that the present one may not be considered unworthy of those that have appeared before it.
