In publishing the foregoing List of Birds, the Author hoped it would have been accompanied by observations on their Geogra- 
- _ so far North as 30° of latitude, in small num 
phical distribution by a distinguished Ornithologist. This, it is hoped, will still be done, with a more complete List than it is now 
possible to publish. Though the specimens have not been subjected toa minute comparison with the species indicated, yet, as Mr. 
= Vigors, Mr. Gould, Col. Sykes, aud Dr. Horsefield, have seen and named the Birds, there can be little doubt respecting the correct- 
_ness of the names published. 
Mr. Ogilby has justly observed, p.lvii, that as the faculty of rapid flight enables birds to set oceans and deserts at defiance, 
so it enables them to choose their own temperature and climate, and therefore renders them not so well adapted as Mammals and 
_ fresh-water fishes for studying all the laws of Geographical distribution, But as they transport themselves from one country to 
another, as the seasons vary and become favourable for affording them food and a suitable climate, so are they better adapted than 
any other class of animals for appreciating the changes which take place in the climate of a place at different seasons of the year; 
ae et is this the case, that in some places many of the operations of husbandry have been regulated by the appeat- 
ance and dis appearance of birds. ; Knowing the changes which take place in the climate, vegetation, and cultivation, both of the 
plains and iat of India, as shown in the Meteorological Observations, p. xxxvii*, and at pp. 7, 9, 13, 14, 16, 20, &c. and that 
the —ae forms varied also according to seasons 2s well as elevations, two plates of birds are figured, while a few of the animals of 
different elevations ata PP 6, 11, 12, 19, 24, 37, and 41. Birds (Plate 8) characteristic of the Himalayas, being in 
form allied to those of European climates, are Carduelis caniceps, Garrulus bispecularis, and Turdus albicollis, Nob., of which 
the specific name should be changed to T. albocinctus, as the former name is pre-occupied. Tropical forms, as exhibited in Certhia 
Goalpariensis, Pitta brachyura, and Eurylaimus Dalhousie, are represented in Plate 7, as these, though common to the 8.E,, occur 
bers, and only during the rainy season, of which the peculiariti i a 
Toye aero os tee A ee a any : a peculiarities of climate and vegeta 
_ tion are indicated in the above-cited passages. The specimen of Ewrylaimus Dalhousi« figured was shot at Mussooree, at 6,500 
feet of elevation. This species was first described by Professor Jameson, in the Edinburgh Journal of Science, and not by Mr. Wilson, 
as indicated in the Plate, and as I had been erroneously informed. es
