N.B. —M. Oustalet’s recent paper on the ancient and modern 
ornithological fauna of the Mascarene islands 1 was not placed in the 
hands of the Editor until the above appendices were already in the 
press ; and the mass of new and valuable information contained 
therein could not be utilised in the present volume. 
It is likewise to be noted that furze, or gorse, Ulex Europceus , is 
mentioned by Dr. Cordemoy in his Flora of la Reunion 2 (1895), as 
growing on the mountains in the island. This is especially curious 
when taken into consideration with the fact that Bourbon has its own 
species of Furze-chat, Pratincola tectec , which—as appears in the 
above list—occurs nowhere else. This interesting circumstance has 
been pointed out by Professor Newton of Cambridge.
