VI INTRODUCTION. 



Besides Sir A. Smith's papers from the South African 

 Quarterly Journal we have added the only other original 

 ornithological paper contained in it. This is by Jules 

 Verreaux, wherein three species of birds are described, 

 p. 66 of this reprint. 



This volume is numbered in brackets consecutively at 

 the foot of each page, and the index at the end of the 

 volume refers to this number. Each article is headed 

 with the number of the journal in which it appeared, 

 and the number at the head of the page gives the 

 original pagination.
