Birds' Eggs in the British Museum. 521 



Vol. III. (1903). 



P. 51. Merops persicusVaW. Measurements omitted. This 



is also the case on p, 303. 

 P. QQ>. Caprimulgus cegyptim Licht. See Mr. H. E. Dresser's 



remarks on these eggs (with wliich I am quite in 



agreement) in his ' Eggs of the Birds of Europe/ 



p. 449. 

 P. 142. Gecinus vaillanti (Malh.). Three eggs from Kef 



Laks collected by Tristram and Salvin, and separately 



catalogued, formed part of a single clutch of seven 



eggs (see 'Ibis/ 1859, p. 315; Ooth. Wolleyana, 



i. p. 187). 

 P. 143. G. canus (Gm.). Two eggs catalogued as from 



'' Russia " are marked " Krain '^ (i. e., Carniola in 



Lower Austria) . 

 [Among less important misprints may be noted: ' Dart' 

 for 'Dort' (p. 47, 1. 6 from above); ' Ruckheil ' for 

 'Ruckbeir (p. 78, 1. 3 from above) ; fig. 17 for fig. 18 

 (p. 228).] 



Vol. IV, (1905). 



P. 63. Panurus hiarmicus (L.). "Hornsea, Norfolk" is 

 apparently a mistake for Horsey, Norfolk. Hornsea 

 Mere (where this species has recently been introduced) 

 is in Yorkshire, but there is no reason to think that 

 the eggs were taken there. 



P. 112. Cichlosehjs sibiricus (Pall.). See Hartert, Vogel 

 pal. Fauna, i. p. 645, where it is stated that there is 

 no ground for the statement that this species breeds 

 on the Koko-nor. The skins collected at this locality 

 with the eggs were sent to the Tring Museum, from 

 whence some of the eggs passed into Mr. Crowley's 

 possession. 



P. 144. Cyanecula cganecula (Wolf). The five eggs from 

 Belgium (Salvin-Godman coll.) were not taken (as 

 stated) by C. B. Wharton and H. Secbohm, but by 

 J. Baker in 1856, twenty years before Seel)ohm's visit.
