104. Backhouse on the Bird-collection of the Yorkshire 
Philosophical Society. 
[Prelfminayy Catalogue of the British Bird Collections in the Possession 
of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. By the Hon. Curator, James 
Backhouse. Part III. Ann. Rep. Yorks. Phil. Soc. 1901, pp. 33-62.] 
This part of the Catalogue begins with Accipitres, taken 
in the widest sense to include Striges, and passes on to 
Steganopodes, Herodii, Anseres, Columbse, Gallinse, Grallse, 
Limicolse, Gaviss, Tubinares, Alcse, and Pygopodes. The 
proofs do not seem to have been very carefully corrected, as 
there are several serious misprints; while such items as 
eggs of the Gannet from the Fame Islands, and one of the 
Ruddy Sheld-Drake from Iceland, must have been entered 
by misadvertence.
