that particular species was obtained by Mr. Willoughby Lowe 

 during his first visit to tiic Colony in 1911, while Lowe ii. 

 signifies that the bird was obtained by him daring his recent 

 visit in 1920. 



Anyone cheeking this List must remember that nonieu- 

 clatu/e is in Avhat may be termed a transition stage at the 

 present time, and in consequence many of the names used 

 by Kemp in 1905 and by myself in 1912 have been rejected 

 ill favour of one we now know to be more correct. All old 

 references are included, but often under a difterent name. 



Tiie specific nomenclature has been carefully revised and 

 brought up to date^ but individual judgment in accepting 

 new names or discussing old ones has, in certain cases, been 

 exercised by the writer.
