520 Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain on the Catalogue of 



P. 270. Eutolma'efus fasciatus Blyth. The ej?g from Gileacl, 

 May 2 (Tristram coll.), is that of Circaetus gallicus, and 

 the maximum measurements given must be modified 

 accordingly. 

 P. 299. Falco barbarus L. The two eggs from Djebel 

 Dekraa, taken 8 April^ 1857, and separately catalogued, 

 form part of a single clutch of three eggs (see 'Ibis/ 

 1859, p. 187). 

 P. 299. F. feldegyi Schl. Two eggs from Russia (Crowley 

 bequest) and two sets from the R. Volga (Seebohm 

 coll.) are erroneously ascribed to this species, and 

 should have been catalogued under F. cherrug. This 

 error has been pointed out by Herr O. Reiser [' Ornis 

 Balcanica,' iii. p. 351). 

 P. 336. Athene glaux (Sav.). The extraordinarily large egg 

 from the old collection and without data is almost 

 certainly that of Strix flammea. 

 P. 353 (Appendix). Limosa Umosa (L.). Under this heading 

 is catalogued a supposed egg of this species from the 

 Orkneys (Tristram coll.) ! It is almost needless to 

 say that no species of Godwit has ever been found 

 breeding in the Orkneys, and an examination of the 

 egg in question shows it to be a lightly marked and 

 prematurely laid Lapwing's egg. 



Two eggs from Bodi3, Norway (Tristram coll.) are 

 also catalogued here, although only the Bar-tailed 

 species breeds there. A reference to Tristram's 

 * Catalogue of Birds ' shows that the bird shot by him 

 at Bodo was, as might be expected, L. Uqrpofiica. 

 P. 373, Plegadis falcineUus (L.). It is not credible that 

 the eggs of this species Avere taken at Sarepta in South 

 Russia in December as stated. 

 [Misprints of less importance also occur in this volume : 

 ' Lucas ' for ' Lucar ' (p. 43, line 5 fronvbelow) ; ' Swake ' for 

 ' Snake ' (p. 46, 1. 8 from above) ; ' Ringley ' for ' Singley ' 

 (p. 283, 1. 18 and 19 from below. ' Myvatn ' is usually 

 written as two words, and the name of the Icelandic 

 collector Nielsen is written ' Nielson' throughout.]
