will, perhaps, be met inland.

APPENDIX III.
LIST OF THE BIRDS OF THE NEW FOREST DISTRICT.
The best plan is, perhaps, to arrange the birds in groups, and to give a
short analysis of each section, so that the reader may be able to see at
a glance the more characteristic as well as rarer species. We will first
of all take the Residents. In making out this list I have been
principally guided—with of course certain exceptions—by the rule of
admitting every bird whose nest has been found upon reliable evidence,
as we may be sure that for one nest which is discovered a dozen or more
remain undetected.
