* These lists contain some species not in those originally proposed in M. Quetelet’s 
memoir. This is at the suggestion of M. Edm. De Selys-Longchamps and the Rey. L. 
Jenyns, the former of whom assisted M. Quetelet in the first instance in drawing the lists 
up, especially that of birds. These gentlemen met and reconsidered the subject at the 
period of the Meeting of the British Association at Cambridge in June 1845, and the fol- 
lowing are the revised lists which they propose to be adopted. In this instance they are 
particularly arranged with a view to English observers ; some of the species of birds origi- 
nally named being extremely rare or accidental in this country, if they occur at all; and others, 
which are regular migrants on many parts of the continent, being stationary in Britain 
throughout the year. 
N.B. All the lists are arranged in alphabetical order. 
+ Care must be taken precisely to determine the species of Bat observed. 
+ This species is stationary in the south of England, but in some of the northern coun- 
ties as well as in Scotland is migratory.
