Excerpt from Geographical Distribution of British Birds
Geographical distribution is a branch of the science of Zoology which has very greatly increased in interest since the theory of Evolution has been generally accepted. It was Darwin's Opinion, which recent research has invariably confirmed, that without isolation the differentiation of species is impossible, and of all possible modes of Isolation, Geographical Isolation is the most important.
The number of species which have been included in the list of British Birds at various times considerably exceeds four hundred, but of these many have been admitted on most untrustworthy evidence.

Excerpt from Geographical Distribution of British Birds
The following attempt to make some amends to the Members of the British Ornithologists' Union for the thousand and one blunders contained in a list of British Birds compiled by their committee for which I, as one of the seven delinquents, must bear my share of responsibility and blame, does not pretend to be exempt from the universal liability to error. All it can claim is that some pains have been taken to master the subject and to weigh the balance of evidence in each case as impartially as possible.
The attempt has been made to classify British Birds in three different ways. Firstly, as to their distribution within the British Islands; secondly, as to their distribution during the breeding-season outside the British Islands; and thirdly, as to their climatic distribution during the breeding-season.
Finally, a list of British Birds has been added containing as much information respecting the geographical distribution of each species as could be compressed into four or five lines. This list is printed on one side of the paper only, so that it can be cut up and used as labels for collections of stuffed birds or eggs.
