Wyatt, Claude Willmott.— See Sharpe and Wyatt. 
Wytsman, Philogene Auguste Gallilee. —Born 1866. Genera Avium. 
Under this title a series of Monographs in quarto were began in 1905 at Brussels. 
A family was issued at one time, merely a synopsis of species, without any original 
research, and a coloured plate or two, the items separately paged. The smallest 
groups were first selected, and the work was discontinued through the war, but 
it is now intended to restart it. It is comparatively valueless in its present state 
and scarcely seems worth reconsideration. 
Part I. was Order Passeres, Family Eurylsemidae, by Hartert, consisting of 8 pages 
and 1 plate, issued 1905. The parts so far issued including Australian birds appear to 
be pt. 5, Cacatuidse by Salvadori, 2 pis., 7 pages, 1905 ; pt. 7, Pelecanidae by Dubois, 
1 pi., 4 pp, 1907; pt. 11, Loriidae by Salvadori, 6 pis., 20 pp., 1910 ; pt. 12 , Cyclo-
