This First Part commences with the Columbeej three races 

 of C. livia being recognized ; and this Order is followed by 

 the HeteroclitsBj in which the Glareolidse are located, as well 

 as the Pteroclidse. In the Gallinae, Lagopus rupestris, suhsp. 

 insularis, described as new from Bering Island, is evidently

 of the Association has been slightly augmented.
