BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
It will be noted that the publication was suspended during the war, and in the last 
ten hefte the date of writing the manuscript is printed at the foot of the first page of 
the sheet, an extraordinary feature of a modem systematic work, especially as we 
have had so much confusion through. Bonaparte and Cabanis using the same 
artifice in 1850, these unnecessary dates confusing the superficial observer into 
mistaking them for dates of printing. 
Motacilla flava simillima occurs in Vol. I., p. 289. 
Wrote the Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum dealing with Swifts, Nightjars, 
etc., Vol. XVI., and monographed the same groups and the Humming Birds in Das 
Tierreich; the Podargidae, etc., being published in 1897 (received B.M., March 2nd), 
and the Trochilidae in Feb. 1900. 
Also prepared the scientific nomenclature of the Handlist of British Birds, published 
in 1912 under the joint authorship of Hartert, Jourdain, Tieehurst and Witherby, 
which was the first attempt to fix the nomenclature of the specific names of British 
Birds on the basis of absolute priority. 
Practical Handbook of British Birds, edited by Witherby. 
Hartert has also provided the specific nomenclature in this work, but, as in the 
preceding Handlist, genera are practically ignored.

Hartlaub recorded for Wiegmann’s Arcliiv fur Naturg. the bird papers from 1846- 
1871 inclusive, and also in the Arcliiv fur Naturg., 1852, p. 93, gave a full account of 
the birds of Peale’s United States Expl. Exped. Report.

This German translation of a Swedish book published in Latin in 1757 was brought into 
- use, and some names were even adopted, before it was determined that mere translations 
of pre-Linnean, i.e., before 1758, were unacceptable. 
Heine, Ferdinand. —Bom 1809. Died 1894. Owner of Museum Heineanum, which was 
catalogued by Cabanis in 1850, and continuation by Cabanis and Heine to 1864 {q.v.). 
In the Journ. fur Orn., Nov. 1859, p. 406, Heine introduced Uralcyon , and May 1860,

Sept. 1890. 
This was apparently begun in 1882 by Heine, and, as Cabanis had done before him, he 
dated the MS., and then in 1890, when with the assistance of Reichenow it was published, 
it confused everyone as it was thought to have been issued as dated. This nomenclator 
is full of new names proposed for the sake of purism, and, as in every case, although 
ninety per cent, are useless synonyms and always will be, through an unexpected 
combination of circumstances some become valid, though not for the reasons given 
by the proposer. 
The new names I have to include in Australian literature are Cymatobolus , Donacias , 
Ooleolimnas , Compsortyx , Zalias. Colymbetes , Lobibyx , Rhynchosimus , Dupetor , Gen- 
n(Bochen , Nettalopex with N. tadornina , Ilyonetta, Abdtera , Hcblinertus , Rliimphalea.
