changes to be noted are first the addition of the subspecies 

 Buteo borealis harlani (337 d) and the omission of Buteo harlani 

 (338, 1886). Buteo albicaudatus becomes the subspecies B. a. 

 sennetti ; the subgenus Tachytriorchis being introduced be- 

 tween Nos. 340 and 341 in the genus Buteo. Falco regulus is 

 added to the list (a straggler in Greenland). Falco sparm-ius 

 deserticolus and F. s. peninsidaris, two new subspecies of Sparrow 

 Hawks, are also added, and Falco sparverioides is changed to F. 

 thmniictiisls. Falco tinnunculus is also added to the 1895 List 

 as a straggler. Megascops asio mccallii is now determined to be 

 M. a. trichopol*; while M. a. trichopsu of the 1886 List now be- 

 comes M. a. cineraceus of 1895. Again the generic name Ulula 

 is set aside for that of Scotiaptex of Swainson. There are also 

 added Mujoxcopxa.aib n>, M. a. macUirhmei, M a. idiihoaisi* and 

 GhwckUnm g. californicurn as new subspecies, and also the new 

 species Gtaueidiwm hoskmm. The genus of Elf Owls formerly 

 in the genus M'i<- ,■<>{},< ,,, have had that name replaced by Mirr<>- 

 pallas. The Order Psittaci (13th group,) remains identical 

 in the two Lists, having but the 7 speetc^ the Carolina Para - 

 quet. 



Following these we have the fourteenth group or Coccyzes, 

 an Order containing the Cuckoos, Trogons and Kingfishers. 

 All told, in 1886, there were 9 species of these, and, in 1895, 9 

 species and 4 subspecies. These latter consist of 3 Cuckoos 

 (Coccyzus minor mayuardi, C. aimricamis occidentaH* and Cumins 

 canorus telephonus), also the Texas Kingfisher {Ceryle a. &-ptr,i- 

 trionalis). This latter was formerly Ceryle cabanisi. In the 

 1895 List Ceryle torquata is added [390. 1]. 



Next we come to the Order Pici (15th group), in which there 

 were 23 species and 11 subspecies in 1886, which, in the 1895 

 List, stand as 22 species and 14 svbxpeeics. Upon comparing the 

 records we find that DryobaUs rillnsu* byhwopus has been added 

 as a subspecies, and also Drynbak* p<d>r*o us <>,-<<> ru«. Dryobat, .« 

 scalar!* becomes D. s. bairdi, while Dryobaks *trkkb, n dl is re- 

 placed by D. arizonse. 



That " highly polymorphous Order," the Macrochires (16th 

 group), containing the Goatsuckers, Swifts, " etc.," presented in 

 the 1886 List, 26 species and 3 subspecies. In the present vol-
