Product Information

Excerpt from National History Transactions of Northumberland and Durham, Vol. 6: Being Papers Read at the Meetings of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and the Tyneside Naturalists' Field Club, 1873 In the Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, And Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, the late Prideaux John Selby, Esq., of Twizell, published a catalogue of the birds of the two Northern Counties: this appeared in 1831. Up to that time list, of any authority, of the birds of this district, had been published. Wallis, indeed, in his Natural History and Antiquities of Northumberland, published in 1769, had given a very imperfect list of the birds of that county, in which fifty species are enumerated. This author states that he might name other migratory Fissipedes, as the Woodcock, etc., but as they are common I pass on to the Palmipedes. It is therefore evident that his object was to record only the rarer or more remarkable species. No other list was made for nearly half a century, when in the History of Hartlepool, by Sir Cuthbert Sharp, published in 1816, there appeared a List of birds observed at Hartlepool. This list contains sixty-eight species. A more important and extensive catalogue of the birds frequenting the country near Stockton appeared in 1827. This was drawn up by the late John Hogg, Esq., of Norton, and published in his Natural History of the Vicinity of Stockton. It also appeared as an appendix to Brewster's history of that town; and, although prepared with considerable care, is very incomplete. It includes one hundred and twenty-six species, but thing of remarkable interest, with the exception of the Golden Eagle. This name, however, is evidently a mistake, as the measurements which are given prove it to have been, without doubt, the White-tailed or Sea-Eagle.
