1870.] ON NEW GALAPAGOAN BIRDS. 323 
of the new species which it contains, in order that Dr. Habel may 
have the credit of their discovery. We may state that we are pre- 
paring for publication a memoir on the avifauna of this group of 
islands, in which we propose to embrace what has previously been 
recorded on this subject, as well as the results of Dr. Habel’s arduous 
investigations. We trust that this memoir will be deemed suitable 
for the Society’s ‘ Transactions.’ 
In the meantime, however, to show the extent of Dr. Habel’s 
collection, we add the subjoined summary of its contents, specifying 
under the head of each species the number of specimens obtained in 
each of the three islands in which birds were collected.
