* Wheu I wrote uiy account of the Fringillidce in the ' Catalogue of Birds,' in 

 1888, I divided the Family into three Sub-families — Grosbeaks {Coccoihraustinw), 

 Finches (Frhiffillincs), and Bunting.s {Emhcrizince). Taking as the types of these 

 Sub-families, a Hawfinch, a Chaffinch, and a Yellow-Ammer, there seemed to be 

 sufficient structural characters to warrant the characterisation of those three great 

 divisions of the Family FringiUida. During the nineteen years that have elapsed since 

 I attempted an arrangement of the Finches, much additional work has been completed, 

 and many changes have become necessary in a revision of the Family. Two books 

 recently published are of the highest value — Mr. Ridgway's first volume of tlie ' Birds 

 of North and Middle America, and Dr. Hartert's ' Vogel der Palaarktischen Fauna.
