A bound volume of typed copies of articles, mostly on gannets and mostly taken from Country Life, illustrated with mounted clippings of the photographs which accompanied the articles in the printed magazines. The articles are neatly titled in ink and consist of:
Gannet City by Frances Pitt,
A Night in The Gannetry by R.M. Lockley,
A Flying Genius - - The Gannet by G.K. Whitehead (these three all taken from Country Life; the last undated, the first two from July 7th 1934 and February 2nd 1935),
Gannet Life on The Bass Rock by H. Mortimer Batten (Scottish Country Life, May 1936),
The Behaviour of The Robin by David Lack (Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1939) and
Hostility Reactions in Black-Headed Gulls by J.S. Huxley and James Fisher (Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, undated, but with field notes from May 1939).
The volume has a typewritten label to the spine dated 1941, from which we have dated this production.
