The following is Mr. Thomson's note on List B : — 



The list includes all the recognized game birds which breed in the Central Pro- 

 vinces. It does not include the only snipe that breeds in the country — namely, 

 the " Painted Snipe," which can scarcely be considered a game bird. Nor does it 

 include the Plovers and Lapwings for the same reason. 



The close season for the game birds will be the periods embraced within the 

 dates specified for dates of breeding season. Game birds which do not breed in 

 the country aud only visit it during the cool season are omitted altogether from 

 the list. 



The authority for dates of breeding seasons given in the list rests on my per- 

 sonal observations, and for these 1 am solely responsible.
