    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[MacGillivray kept detailed notes of his long walk to London, aiming to improve his knowledge of natural history, ‘and especially ornithology.’ In London he visited the British Museum’s collection of birds, finding that he did ‘not altogether agree with modern ornithologists,’ and suggesting that he might ‘some day become the author of a new system’ for recording British bird life. ]]></dcterms:description>
