have been kept. In some of the items in the Ust the dates are 

 only approximate. The Ust must not be accepted as a record 

 of all the birds introduced into the colony. There are several 

 birds whose introduction has not been recorded. Some of those 

 liberated have not succeeded in establishing theni'Selves. The 

 list, therefore, must be taken as a contribution to the subject, 

 rather than as a full and comprehensive table. I have adopted 

 the plan of giving the popular and scientific name of the bird, 

 the name of the districts in which it is found, and the year in 

 which it was liberated, or made its first appearance. The names 

 of the districts are arranged in alphabetical order : —
