Alphabetical Index (Names and Subjects). 
In this index the names of ^useful and noxious birds" grouped 
by genus and species were omitted for the same reason which induced 
me not to include in the book a comparative table of birds protected 
and non-protected. The latter is, namely, in the present state of things, 
of Jio practical value and will, indeed only be so, when the signatory 
States of the Paris Convention of 1902 have published their authentic 
schedules, a step they have hitherto not taken. 
The grouped schedules to be found in the book are as follows: 
I. Marenzeller's schedules^ 1873 : 
a) useful birds . 43 
b) noxious birds 44 
II. Altam's schedules, 1884 : 
a) useful birds 62 
b) noxious birds 63 
III. French schedules, 1895:

c) noxious birds 108
