Text Appearing Before Image:
the EasternNarra have been so often referred to by brother officers, that, after aninterval of thirteen years, I have been induced to complete and printthem, not only to satisfy inquiry, but to remove if possible thedifficulty that exists in tracing Birds to their proper names. The plan adopted is, it is hoped, both simple and concise. TheIndex shows the Birds in Classes, and these again are divided intoFamilies on pages 1, 6, and 19, with references to the intermediatesheets on which the different species are detailed. Errors and omissions must occur, and if at the close of the shooting-season those receiving copies will return them to me, I shall hope tocomplete my first intention of presenting them with others fully illus-trated in exchange for their suggestions, corrections, and illustrations. These may be Dry Leaves from an Unhappy Valley, butthey tell of the advantages that Sind offers to the sportsman in theabundance of its small game. A. LE MESSURIER. Kurrachee, November 1874.
