The foregoing catalogue of birds' dggs embraces 1323 determined species of 

 493 genera. Of these, 835 species, derived from all parts of the world, formed 

 the celebrated and valuable collection of Mons. O. Des Murs, of Paris. The 

 Australian species, numbering 246, accompanied the splendid collection of birds 

 from that country, made by the distinguished ornithologist Mr. John Gould, of 

 London, and vt'hich is now in the Museum of the Academy. The Cuba species 

 belonged to the collection of the well known naturalist M. Ramon de la Sagra, 

 and were presented by Mr. E. Wilson. 



The whole of the two first collections were purchased by Dr. T. B. Wilson, 

 and, with his usual liberality, presented to the Academy. The remainder con- 

 sists of species presented by several individuals whose names are attached to 

 their donations throughout the catalogue. Of undetermined eggs in the collec- 

 tions of M. Des Murs and Mr. Gould, there are 197 species.
