This is all that was apparently published of Harvie-Brown's celebrated series. The preface to The Tweed Area states that 'this volume on the Vertebrate Fauna of Scotland brings us within an appreciable distance of the completion of the series, though the areas of Forth and Clyde and Solway still remain to be undertaken'. The Vertebrate Fauna of Forth appeared in 1935, much later than the Tweed volume in 1911, but the projected accounts of the Clyde and Solway areas do not seem to have followed. '[Harvie-Brown's] contributions to ornithological science are literally legion ... His greatest work, however, and the one that will form an imperishable monument to his name, is the series of volumes on the vertebrate fauna of Scotland, most of which were written either by himself, or in collaboration with other ornithologists' (Mullens & Swann).
