* The arrangement here adopted is based upon the British Museum “ Cata- 
logue of Birds.” Although the system of classification in that work does not 
commend itself to all ornithologists, there is an obvious advantage in following 
the order there introduced, as it allows of a complete record of the additions to 
the species and genera there enumerated, and obviates the danger of new species 
being overlooked, concerning the allocation of which opinions have varied with 
the view's of each previous Recorder. — R. B. S.
