  do 
  not 
  consider 
  it 
  necessary 
  to 
  go 
  

   into 
  tbe 
  details 
  of 
  tbe 
  evidence 
  wbicli 
  justifies 
  tbese 
  cbanges. 
  It 
  is 
  

   based 
  on 
  records 
  wbicb 
  Steere 
  overlooked, 
  or 
  wbicb 
  bave 
  been

   since

  Reference 
  to 
  tbe

  distribution

   will 
  show

  stands 
  upon

  of

   of

  alone. 
  1 
  will 
  take 
  tbis 
  opportunity, 
  bowever, 
  to 
  reiterate 
  tbe 
  

   statement 
  tbat 
  witb 
  very 
  few 
  exceptions 
  no 
  species 
  bas 
  been 
  included 
  

   in 
  tbe

  for 
  wbicb 
  definite 
  locality 
  and 
  collector 
  can 
  not 
  

   be 
  assigned. 
  

  

  Anticipating 
  to 
  some 
  extent 
  tbe 
  likelibood 
  of 
  important 
  cbanges 
  in 
  

   tbis 
  table, 
  Sfceere 
  bas 
  said 
  "it 
  is 
  probable 
  tbat 
  a 
  few 
  genera 
  of 
  tbis 
  list, 
  

   among 
  tbem 
  Scops, 
  liatrdchostomus, 
  and 
  Megapodins, 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  to 
  

   bave 
  more 
  tban 
  one 
  species 
  in 
  tbe 
  islands. 
  In 
  tbis 
  case 
  tbey 
  will 
  fall 
  

   into 
  List 
  C 
  (i. 
  e., 
  tbe 
  list 
  of 
  genera 
  distributed 
  in 
  strict 
  conformity 
  witb 
  

   bis 
  law), 
  and 
  will 
  in 
  no 
  sense 
  weaken 
  tbe 
  conclusions 
  of 
  tbis 
  ])aper."' 
  

   It 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  see 
  bow 
  one 
  could 
  safely 
  attempt 
  to 
  foretell 
  into 
  wbat 
  

   list 
  tbe 
  discovery 
  of 
  additional 
  species 
  of 
  tbese 
  genera 
  would 
  bring 
  

   tbem. 
  As 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  fact, 
  some 
  of 
  tbe 
  genera 
  removed
