 With tlio Part ]in))Iisliefl in tlie previous immher of the Journal, 

 tlie Passerine birds, comprising about 40 i)er cent, of tlie total number 

 to be described in this Pa|)cr, were completed. For tlie remaining 

 Orders the same general plan will be followed, as hitherto, except 

 that trinomial designations will be used in all cases when- it njipears 

 that the birds may properly be assigned subspeciiic rank. The plan of 

 putting an asterisk (*) before the names of birds which were not 

 mentioned in the Preliminary List published in lOM (Vol. i, pp. 41 to 

 48 of this Journal^, will also be discontinued. This arrangement is no 

 longer convenient, in view of the length ot time which has elapsed 

 since the List was prepared, and the considerable additions made to it. 

 V'lirtlier, as a synonymy is now being given, the references to the 

 Fauna of l^ritish India— Birds, will be (luoted therein, inste.ad of 

 being noted by means ot numbers in bi'ai^kets after the serial nundiers 

 in this I'aper.
