The author states in the Introduction that “ the identifications of the 
birds (233 species) were verified by Mr. R. Bowdler Sharpe, who has 
carefully worked out the literature.” One new species, Arachnethra 
edeni \Nectariniid(B\ is described and figured ; for other species figured, 
see under Falconidca^ Nectar iniidfe, Muscica^ndce, Timeliidoi^ Pycnonotidm, 
Sylviidce, Phasianido}, Perdicidce.

The species collected now amount to 335 [c/*. Zool. Rec. xiii. Aves, p. 2, 
xiv. Aves, p. 1, XV. Aves, p. 2]. In the present list it is, presumably, T. 
Ayres who describes one species, Pycnonotus layardi [^Pycnonotidce^ as 
new ; whilst in the same paper (p. 403) H. Seebohm describes another 
novelty, Eremomela hemixantha [Sylviid(je\
