Professor Harker, F.L.S., whose lamented death recently occurred. He, from the first, encouraged me to continue my observation of bird-song ;and, in 1890, he devoted a considerable amount of time to harmoniously arranging the results of my investigations. When I state that Mr. J. E. Harting generously offered to look over the proof-sheets of this work (which offer was, of course, gladly accepted), the public will appreciate the extent of my indebtedness to an author and editor so accomplished.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating topic of bird song, looking back to its evolutionary origins and considering the influence of natural selection on the vocal capabilities of birds. The author focuses on the power of song, not only in attracting mates but also in defending territory and communicating with other birds. The exploration of why certain species, such as thrushes and robins, can mimic the songs of others, while birds like skylarks have been observed to employ distinct melodies for different forms of communication is a key theme. Delving deeper into the subject, the author also examines the role of inheritance and the impact of external factors, such as habitat and environment, in shaping the diverse range of bird songs we hear today. This book offers a comprehensive and thoroughly researched account of the evolution and diversity of bird song, providing valuable insights into the rich tapestry of nature's musical expressions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
