Arrangement and Nomenclature : 



The Systematic Arrangement of this list is— by kind permission of 

 Dr. R. Bowdler Sharpe — that adopted by him at the British Museum (Natural 

 History) and published by him in his 'Sketch-Book of British Birds' (1898). 

 Conformity with a standard is important, and as regards g-enera, it should 

 not be overlooked that the avifauna of a district is but a portion of that of 

 the world. The compiler is indebted to Dr. Sharpe not only for his permission 

 but also for looking- over the proof-sheets. 



The Nomenclature is as far as practicable in accordance with the strict 

 law of priority, and without any alteration of the names given by original 

 describers, beyond the correction of obvious typographical misprints.
