NOTES ON BILLBERGS SYNOPSIS FAUN^ 

 SCANDINAVIA. 



By Gregory M. Mathews and Tom Iredale, 



In a recent article on Egatheus Billberg, one of us 

 (Mathews, Auk, Vol. XXX., pp. 92-94, 1913) accepted 

 Riclimond's correction of his usage of that genus-name, 

 as no opportunity of personally examining Billberg's 

 work had previously occurred. 



As, since that note was Avritten, the only known copy 

 in the British Isles — one in NcAvton's library preserved 

 at Cambridge University — has been, through the courtesy 

 of the University to whom our best thanks are due, 

 made available to us, we have concluded that a criticism 

 and excerpts would be welcomed by many interested. 



Firstly, Lonnberg (Journ. fiir Ornith. 1906, pp. 531- 

 533) has contributed a note concerning this work. 

 Secondly, Richmond has examined the same copy 

 as we have before us and has recorded aU the new 

 names in his invaluable list of " Generic Names Applied
