1. A List or Brrps coLLecTreD In DAMARA LAND BY Mr. C.J. 
AnprerRsson. By J. H. Gurney, M.P., F.Z.S. 
In drawing up this list of birds, which I have received from my 
friend Mr. Andersson, and which bears full testimony to his well- 
known scientific assiduity as an ornithological collector, I have omitted 
those species which have already been enumerated, by Messrs. Strick- 
land and Sclater in the ‘ Contributions to Ornithology’ for 1852, as 
haying been collected by Mr. Andersson in his first journey to Da- 
mara Land, and confine myself to the enumeration of species not 
mentioned in the above-named list, but which have been all collected 
by Mr. Andersson in that country.
