CAMPBELL — Ornithological Nomenclature. 55 



Pinallv, in the pui-e technical matter of Gcniifi uplittinij 

 Ml*. Mathews was a "lumper" in his "Reference List," in A or/ 

 Utte>< Zoologicae (11)12), and turned a somersault and became a 

 "s])litter'" in his "1913 List." Now, lie states in the conchidinjr 

 lines of his article, ''irheii the split f/cnrra are rc-a.s.soithlcd 

 sufr-eftsfiillj/, I do not think there will be much to concern us, in 

 <u'nitholoj4"ical nomenclature." Let us hope so, and like at the 

 conclusion of some pleasant novel, the heroes Oj" the plot or the 

 contending- parties shake hands and everyone is happy, for ever 

 afterwards. I am. &c.,
