Herewith is issued Part III. of Volume III. It is a continuation of the Order Accipitres, and 

 contains the Sub-family Accipitrina;, commenced on the last page of the preceding Part, the 

 Sub-family Buteoninae, and the greater portion of the Sub-family Aquilinae. The figures of 

 eggs, which are of the natural size, were reproduced by the heliotype process at the Government 

 Printing Office, from photographs of the specimens, taken under the direction of the Go\ ernment 

 Printer and the supervision of Mr. A. E. Dyer. As in the previous Parts, the illustrations of 

 birds are reproduced from drawings made by the late Mr. Neville Caylev, who was also 

 responsible for hand-colouring the Plates of Eggs in the coloured copies.
