overlooked them. 
On page 462 he says Zosleropidce wiU be found near the Dicoeidce but places 
it next the Alavdidce and before the Nectariniidce and makes no mention of the 
family Dicceidte. 
On page 465, footnote, he says “ The genus Irena should probably be placed 
in the Tvrdidoe near Cochoa, but he places it some distance after that genus 
and with two subfamilies in between. 
No trivial name is given for No 539 Hippolais languida. 
In No. 4 of the same volume, the serial numbers of both Pericrocutus p. pere- 
jurius and P. p. vividus are given as 664 instead of 664 and 665. This will alter 
all the serial numbers subsequent to these. 
The trivial names of both Nos. 724 and 726 are given as Hume’s Myna and 
the trivial names of both Nos. 816 and 818 are given as the Pied Chat; also 
the trivial names of Nos. 960 and 961 are given as Chestnut-headed instead of 
Chestnut-beUied Munias. The trivial names of both Nos. 1122 and 1123 are 
given as Tarniy Pipit and no trivial name is given to No. 1 145 Alavda gulgula 
ccelivox. 
In Vol. XXVIII, No. 1, the family Dicceidoe should surely have been mentioned, 
but aU the Simbirds and Flowerpeekers are put under the family N ectarinidce. 
Tlie trivial name of No. 1236 is given as Ruby Throat instead of Ruby Cheek. 
In Nos. 1290 to 1293 the trivial names are sj>eltPygny instead of Pigmy. In 
the trivial name of No. 1297 there is a comma instead of a hyphen. 
In No. 2 of this volume the F.B.I. number in brackets of 1482 Cacomantis m. 
guervlus is given as 1118 instead of 1113. 
In the trivial name of No. 1632 the name Eagle has been omitted after Buzzard. 
The F.B.I. numbers in brackets of Nos. 1646 and 1647 should of course be 
1234 and 1235 and not 1334 and 1335. 
In No. 1654 the t has been omitted from the word Desert.

Stuart Baker to revise it. 
In Major Fraser's paper on Indian Dragonflies on page 620, fine 19, he gives 
the name “ Mangphu ” ; the usual way of speUing this is “ Mangpu.” 
In Mr. EUison’s article on the Nepal shoot on page 691, line 16, from the 
bottom and on page 692, fine 1 at the top, he gives the word “Invertebrates” 
this of course is a slip and the word should be Reptiles. 
On page 790 Dr. Ticehurst wants the name of bird collectors. If he wiU com- 
municate with me I shall be pleased to help him in whatever way I can. I 
may also mention that I will always be happy to try and obtain for the 
Society any of their desiderata from this District or from anywhere else where 
I may happen to collect.
