vi INTRODUCTION. 
Besides Sir A. Smith’s papers from the South African 
Quarterly Journal we have added the only other original 
ornithological paper contained in it. This is by Jules 
Verreaux, wherein three species of birds are described, 
p. 66 of this reprint. 
This volume is numbered in brackets consecutively at 
the foot of each page, and the index at the end of the 
volume refers to this number. Each article is headed 
with the number of the journal in which it appeared, 
and the number at the head of the page gives the 
original pagination. .
