The remarks in the first of these papers and (so far as they are ornitho- 
logical) in the last chiefly refer to JBernicla brenta. 
Bernicla leucopsis is figured. J. Gould, B. Gr. Br. part xii.

Cygnus passmorii (Zool. Eec. ii. pp. 134, 136) is probably identical with 
C. buccinator. The rufous colouring is certainly not diagnostic in this family.
