266 BIRDS. [Cuar. VII. 
tents is mainly due to the untiring energy and exertions 
of my friend, Mr. E. L. Layard. Nearly every bird in 
the list has fallen by his gun; so that the most ample 
facilities have been thus provided, not only for extend-

existed on this branch of the zoology of the island; but 
for correcting, by actual comparison with recent speci- 
mens, the errors which had previously prevailed as to 
The whole of Mr. 
imperfectly described species. 
Layard’s fine collection is at present in England.
