104. Backhouse on the Bird-collection of the Yorkshire 

 Philosophical Societij. 



[Preliminaiy Catalogue of the British Bird Collections in the Possession 

 of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. By the Hon. Curator, James 

 Backhouse. Part III. Ann. Eep. Yorks. Phil. Soc. 1901, pp. 3;J-62.] 



This part of the Catalogue begins with Accipitres, taken 

 in the widest sense to include Striges, and passes on to 

 Steganopodes, Herodii, Anseres, Columbae, Gallinse, Grallfe, 

 Limicolse, Gavise, Tubinares, Alcse, and Pygopodes. The 

 proofs do not seem to have been very carefully corrected, as 

 there are several serious misprints; while such items as 

 eggs of the Gannet from the Fame Islands, and one of the 

 Ruddy Sheld-Drake from Iceland, must have been entered 

 by misadvertence.

 forms — as distinct species, under the titles of Formicivora 

 alticincta and Vireo insulanus.
