next winter. In the meantime, however, the writer asks ornitho- 

 logists and collectors to send in any other notes they may have on 

 the nesting habits of the Fringillidcs and following families, so 

 that they may appear in their proper place in the concluding part 

 of the work. An addendum will also be published with Part III 

 in which will be included such additional information as may 

 come to me. 



An index and a complete bibliography of the authorities con- 

 sulted will be embodied in Part III.
