* When I wrote my account of the FringilUdts in the ' Catalogue of Birds,' in 

 1888, I di-vided the Family into three Sub-families — Grosbeaks {CoccothraustmiB), 

 Finches {FringilUruE), and Buntings (Emberizinm). Taking as the types of these 

 Sub-families, a Hawfinch, a Chaffinch, and a Yellow-Ammer, there seemed to be 

 sufScient structural characters to warrant the characterisation of these three great 

 divisions of the Family FriiigilUdcB'. During the nineteen years that have elapsed since 

 I attempted an arrangement of the Finches, much additional work has been completed, 

 and many changes have become necessary in a reTision of the Family. Two books 

 recently published are of the highest yalue — Mr. Kidgway's first volume of tie ' Birds 

 of North and Middle America, and Dr. Hartert's ' Vogel der Palaarktischen Fauna.
