INTRODUCTION. 



As there is no list of European Birds up to date, it is hoped that 

 the following may be of use to collectors, for reference and 

 exchange of skins and eggs, also for labelling specimens, especially 

 as the Supplement contains a list of those birds of disputed 

 occurrence, printed in the same type, a feature not found in any 

 other work of the kind. 



My thanks are due to many friends for their kind assistance, and 

 especially to Mr. Dresser, for permitting me to use his " List of 

 European Birds."
