As regards important ornithological work, a slight falling-off is, perhaps, 
perceptible for the year 1880, although there is no diminution, but the 
reverse, in the amount of trivial magazine literature.

ing names may be consulted : —

The systematic arrangement proposed by P. L, Sclater, in an important 
paper on “ The Present State of the Systema Avium,’^ is given in its 
place ; and, as it appears to the Recorder to be infinitely preferable to 
any yet propounded, he has adopted its principal features in the present 
Record.
