18 Mr. C. Bygrave Wharton on the 
spring migrants, and of getting a few good nests, completely 
extinguished. 
There is what they call a museum at Ajaccio; hut as it 
contains birds from all quarters of the globe, which seem to 
be arranged according to size, and have only a number (and 
not always even that) attached to them, and as I was unable 
to discover the existence of a catalogue to which the num¬ 
bers might refer, the whole thing was of course practically 
worthless. 
My best thanks are due to Messrs. H. E. Dresser and 
Howard Saunders for their kindness in assisting me in the 
identification of a few small Warblers, sent to England for 
that purpose.
