* I am much indebted to Dr. Bianchi for lending me the MSS. of a Hand-list 

 of the Paride, which he has since published. This saved me much time and labour, 

 especially with the Palsearctic species, the geographical distribution of which has been 

 carefully worked out by Dr. Biancbi. Dr. Hellmayr's excellent Monograph in the 

 ' Tierreich ' appeared after the present work had been set up in type, and 1 hare only 

 been able to add a few quotations.
