  This 
  is 
  a 
  systematic 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  contained 
  in 
  the 
  

   separate 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  Vienna 
  Museum, 
  which 
  is 
  

   devoted 
  to 
  the 
  illustration 
  of 
  the 
  avifauna 
  of 
  the 
  Austro- 
  

   Hungarian 
  Monarchy. 
  It 
  appears 
  that 
  the 
  series 
  contains 
  

   about 
  1600 
  mounted 
  and 
  10,900 
  unmounted 
  specimens, 
  of 
  

   which 
  the 
  dates, 
  localities, 
  and 
  authorities 
  are 
  given. 
  In 
  an 
  

   appendix 
  the 
  desiderata 
  are 
  specified.

  South 
  Kensington 
  would 
  be 
  very 
  desirable, 
  and 
  

   would, 
  no 
  doubt, 
  lead 
  to 
  the 
  acquisition 
  of 
  many 
  additional 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  our 
  native 
  birds.
