spoudent, Mr. Alan Owstou, in Yokohama, who collected so successfully on Guam 

 and Saipan in the Marianne Islands,* proceeded to Rnk and' sent a large collection 

 to Tring. 



The most important feature of this collection is the new Tephras (No. 3), 

 and the very fine series of nests and eggs of nearly all the species inhabiting 

 the island. 



The notes on the colours of the soft parts are all given from Ridgway's 

 Nomenclature of Colours, and we may say that we have found them most 

 accurate. The nests and eggs were also labelled with the greatest care and 

 accuracy. Out of many hundreds of nests and eggs in the two collections we 

 could not trace one error, and had only one doubtful egg of a Tern, which is not 

 mentioned in either list. 



To enable a reader of this article to inform himself of the entire bibliography 

 on the species, I have to all the species added the no. and jtage of Wiglesworth's
