This is a series of small monographs relating to various 

 birds and groups of birds of the Indo-Australian Region, 

 revised principally from specimens in the fg,mous museum 

 at Triug. It forms a preliminary account of the collections

 Ploceus, Pratincola, certain groups of Muscicapidae, Den- 

 drobiastes, Cacomantis, Centropus, Eos, Criniger, Stigniatops, 

 Zosterops, and Collocalia. 



The writer is obviously well acquainted with his subject, 

 and gives us much useful information as to the ranges of 

 the birds and their position in the system.

 time ; — 



Anthus fichardi albidus, Munia punciulata blfisii, Pratin-
