 Order Passeres, and contains the Families Hirundinidae, Artamidae, Sturnida, Motacillida;,

 Caprimulgidae, PodargidEfi, Coraciidae, Meropidas and Alcedinidae. The figures of eggs, which 

 are of the natural size, were reproduced by the heliotype process at the Government Printing 

 Office, from photographs of the specimens, taken under the direction of the Government Printer, 

 Mr. W. A. Gullick, and the supervision of Mr. A. E. Dyer. As in the previous Parts, the 

 illustrations of birds are reproduced from drawings made by the. late Mr. Neville Cayley, who 

 was also responsible for hand-colouring the plates of eggs in the coloured copies.
