XII. — Some Additions and Corrections to the B. 0. U. List 

 of British Birds. By the Committee appointed to draw 

 up the List, t 



At the General Meeting of the British Ornithologists' 

 Union, held on March 14 last, the following resolution 

 proposed by the Committee was passed unanimously : — 



That the Sub-Committee who edited the new edition 

 of the B. O. U. List of British Birds be re-appoiuted, 

 with power to add to their number, to make the neces- 

 sary additions and corrections that from time to time 

 may become necessary to the list and to publish them 

 in * The Ibis \ 



Since the date of the publication of the second edition 

 of the B. O. U. List of British Birds, a certain number of 

 species have been added to the British List. 



There are also some corrections in nomenclature which 

 require to be made. Most of these have been pointed out to 

 us by kindly critics, and we are glad to record them here. 



We have not attempted to deal with other criticisms of 

 general method or of minor errors in this place, but have 

 only made such corrections as were obviously necessary. 



It is gratifying to the Committee to observe that the 

 Authors of the ' Hand-List of British Birds ' have recently 



* Immature birds.
