have much pleasure in adduig the name of Captain Briggs, the De- 

 puty Commissioner of Tavoy, to the number of those who have so 

 creditably distinguished themselves, — that gentleman having lately 

 transmitted to me a most interesting series of birds procured by him 

 at Tavoy in the Tenasserim Provinces. These I have carefully iden- 

 tified, and, aware that the publication of a list of the birds from this 

 little-known locality will be regarded with interest, I have the plea- 

 sure of sending it for insertion in the Society's ' Proceedings.'
