The foregoing catalogue of birds’ eggs embraces 1323 determined species of 
493 genera. Of these, 835 species, derived from all parts of the world, formed 
the celebrated and valuable collection of Mons. O. Des Murs, of Paris. The 
Australian species, numbering 246, accompanied the splendid collection of birds 
from that country, made by the distinguished ornithologist: Mr. John Gould, of 
London, and which is now in the Museum of the Academy. ‘The Cuba species 
belonged to the collection of the well known naturalist M. Ramon de la Sagra, 
and were presented by Mr. E. Wilson. 
The whole of the two first collections were purchased by Dr. T. B. Wilson, 
and, with his usual liberality, presented to the Academy. The remainder con- 
sists of species presented by several individuals whose names are attached to 
their donations throughout the catalogue. Of undetermined eggs in the collec- 
tions of M. Des Murs and Mr. Gould, there are 197 species.
