ADDENDA ET ERRATA. 



As ornithology is gradually, but steadily, making onward strides, and as, during the last ten 

 years which have elapsed since I commenced the publication of the present work, ornithologists 

 in Great Britain, as well as elsewhere in Europe, have been unusually active, much which when 

 I wrote the earlier articles was buried in obscurity has since been brought to light. Large 

 collections have been sent to Europe from localities whence I could then only obtain an 

 old specimen or two ; and many leading ornithologists have devoted themselves to working 

 out small groups monographically, and have consequently thrown new light on many knotty 

 points. Almost every week some moot question gets cleared up ; for every step that a 

 working ornithologist takes serves as a guide to those that follow after, and his work forms a 

 basis on which his successor can build, until by degrees a tolerably good structure is erected. 

 Hence much that I have written requires correction and emendation ; and I have therefore 

 deemed it advisable to give the following list of addenda et errata :—
