The following Catalogue has been printed chiefly 

 to save the trouble of writing out repeated lists of birds, 

 and also to inform my ornithological friends what species 

 are in my collection. The specific name adopted is generally 

 the oldest, and the authority is given immediately after the 

 name ; but the authority after specific has no reference to 

 generic names. I have also, as far as I have been able to 

 verify them, inserted a reference to a coloured plate or 

 lithograph. The numbers refer to those attached to the 

 birds in the collection.
