Parince, Psaltriparince, Remizince, Paradoxornithina, Pan- 

 urince, and Cert hip ariiP. He admits 169 species and sub- 

 species of Parus, placing all the true British Tits in this 

 genus, and wisely uniting with it such forms as Lophopkanes, 

 Cyanistes, Poecile, and others which have been quite un- 

 necessarily separated. Besides Parus, Mr. Hellmayr in- 

 cludes in the Parinse Melanochlora, Penthornis, Aphelocephala, 

 and Sphenostoma. 



In the second subfamily {Psaltriparince) are included the 

 Long-tailed Tits jEyithaliscus (with 11 subspecies), Psultria 

 (with 1 species), and Psaltriparus (with 9 subspecies). 



We now come to the Bottle-tits, of which 11 species and 

 subspecies of Reniiza, 13 of Anthoscopus , 2 of AuripaniSj 

 and 1 of Cephalojjyrus are recognised in the present work. 



Lastly, the somewhat anomalous group of Crow-tits 

 {Paradoa^ornithina) concludes the Parine Series. Though a 

 little eccentric in some parts of their structure (the outer 

 toe in Cholornis is reduced to an almost clawless stump), we 

 believe that Paradoxornis is more nearly allied to the Tits 

 than to any other birds. Mr. Hellmayr separates Suthora 

 davidiana as the type of a new genus " Neosuthora.'* 



Three coloured plates attached to this Part contain figures 

 of Parus niffrihnis, Remiza pendulina caspia, jEgithalus fuli- 

 ghiosus, and Anthoscopus ansorgei, besides details relating to 

 other species.

As belonging to the Family Certhiidaj five genera are 

 recognised by the author — Certhia, Tichodroma, Salpornis, 

 Climacteris, and Rhabdornis. The multitudinous forms of 

 Certhia are mostly treated as subspecies. A plate contains 

 a pretty figure of Salpornis salvadorii, and details of other 

 species. To Certhia brachydactyla is assigned the rank of a 

 species with 13 subspecies.
