This work is mainly based on the collections made by Major St. John 
in 1869-71, and those formed by himself in 1872. The united collec- 
tions contained 1236 specimens of 248 species. By incorporating into 
his list the species mentioned by De Filippi in his ‘ Note di un Yiaggio 
in Persia,’ the total number of species is raised to 384. Most of the 
now species obtained were described in “The Ibis,” for 1873 & 1874; 
many of those are now figured. Sylviidcc, Pycnonotidee, Nec- 
tariniidee, Paridm, Sittidm, Fringillidce, Corvidae.] 
. The African Element in the Fauna of India ; A Criticism of 
Mr. Wallace’s views as expressed in the “ Geographical Distribution 
of Animals.” Ann. N. H. (4) xviii. pp. 277-294. 
The author maintains his former views that there exists in India a 
strong element of the fauna of Africa, and shows that it is of more 
importance than allowed by Mr. Wallace in his work. The author’s 
views as to the minor faunistic divisions of India are shown on a small 
map. His arguments are based upon a consideration of the Mammals 
and Birds.
