BY 
R. Bowdler Sharpe, LL.D. 
After a lapse of several years, the Recorder has been asked to Write the 
summary of the work done by Ornithologists in 1890. He trusts that 
this record may be found tolerably complete) but the enormous increase 
of periodical literature which has taken place Since he last attempted 
an Avian record, renders him fearful that, with all his researches, 
he may have missed some essays on Ornithology. He will) therefore, 
be grateful to any one who will inform him of any errors and 
omissions, that he may incorporate the papers in next year’s ‘Record.’ 
The order of Classification followed is that proposed in the Recorder’s
