PREFACE. 



I hope that the book will lead to further results, for I shall 

 always be glad to hear from anyone who is interested 

 in the subject, and shall take it as a favour if those who 

 detect errors in the text will inform me of the same ; or, if 

 those who meet with additional or unrecorded specimens will 

 let me know particulars. I shall also be very pleased, at any 

 time, to aid in identifying rare or doubtful species of birds, 

 etc., or to give any information in my power.
