INTRODUCTION. 
Fw papers are less accessible to ornithologists than those 
published by the late Sir Andrew Smith prior to the 
issue of his great work “ Illustrations of the Zoology 
of South Africa.” The South African Quarterly 
Journal*, wherein most of them appear, is a collection 
of miscellaneous papers in octavo, issued in two series 
by the South African Institution between the years 1830 
and 1834. The first series contains five numbers, the 
first four bearing the date 1830, and the fifth 1832. The 
second series commenced in 1833 with one number 
divided into three parts; three more numbers of three 
parts each appeared in 1834 when the journal ceased.
