' Complete records were of course made by the author, and I find specifir rfffrerires to them; but unfortunately they 

 are not available to the editor. The tabulation represents that part of thr ivntrd \\lii<-!i is repeated; either in siminiary com- 

 ment, on breeding records (where these offspring were used as parents), or in I. L^nd- fni illustrations, etc. The interrogation 

 points in the first column indicate that the number of eggs which had been laid duniiy tiie season prior to the egg described, 

 is unknown. — Editor.
