*In the great majority of cases, the Society holds that the pubHcation 

 of lengthy lists of names is uninteresting to the public, and therefore un- 

 desirable. The present, however, is regarded as an exceptional case, partly 

 on account of the universal interest in living birds, and also because of our 

 need of a printed check-list of our bird collection. — Ed.
