e
summer birds of passage which I have observed in this neighbourhood, and
also a list of the winter birds of passage: I mentioned besides those
soft-billed birds that stay with us the winter through in the south of
England, and those that are remarkable for singing in the night.

According to my proposal, I shall now proceed to such birds (singing
birds strictly so called) as continue in full song till after Midsummer,
and shall range them somewhat in the order in which they first begin to
open as the spring advances.
