During the century leading up to this book's publication in 1941,
there had been a complete revolution in conditions governing the
habits and numbers of wildfowl in many parts of the world.
Industrial innovations such as the breech-loading gun, the
steam-engine, and the internal combustion engine not only increased
destruction, but, by disturbance of previously quiet resting
places, led to vast changes in distribution. In most locations,
these changes were masked by seasonal fluctuations, and too slow
for the average wildfowler to notice. But it began to be realised,
especially in North America, that the number of wildfowl was
seriously diminishing. To obtain accurate information, the
International Committee for Bird Preservation adopted a
far-reaching scheme of investigation and inquiry. This first
publication gives the results of the investigations in Scotland. It
attempts to record a distributional index and practical estimate of
a country's total stock of wildfowl.
