\The author examines 27 races,” of which he declares 10 
{Gyps occidentalism Aquila chrysaetuSm A. clangay Hierofalco 
islandicusm Accipiter major , Noctua persica, Hydrohata melano^ 
paster, Cyanecula carulecula, Larus niveus, Anser pallipes) to be 
individual varieties, 10 (Garrulus krynicki, Sturnus unicolor, 
Passer italim, F. hispaniolensis , Fyrrhula coccinea, Budytes rayi, 
B. cinereocephala, B. melanocephala, Motacilla yarrelli, Hirundo 
cahirica) to be good species. Want of evidence at present 
makes him doubtful as to the remaining 7 ; but he thinks 4 
{Corvus leucopheeus, Saocicola lugens, Pelidna torquata, Uria 
mandti) are probably varieties, and 3 (Cygnus immutabilis, Uria 
ringvia, Podiceps holboelli) are probably good species.^
