* I am much indebted to Dr. Bianchi for lending me the MSS. of a Hand-list 

 of the Paridw, which he has since published. This saved me much time and labour, 

 especially with the Palaearctic species, the geographical distribution of which has beeu 

 carefully worked out by Dr. Bianchi. Dr. Hellmayr's excellent Monograph in the 

 ' Tierreich ' appeared after the present work had been set up in type, and I have only 

 beeu able to add a few quotations.
