FOREWORD. 

Before  issuing  this  little  catalogue  in  book  form  the  Editors  ot 
the  Bombay  Natural  Historj'-  Journal  have,  at  the  request  of  some 
subscribers,  asked  me  to  correct  it  and  again  bring  it  up  to  date. 
This  would  mean  re- writing  the  whole  catalogue  and  taking  some 
five  years  or  more  in  so  doing  and  the  object  with  which  I  com- 
menced the  catalogue  would  be  defeated. 

My  idea  in  bringing  it  out  was  not  to  provide  a  complete 
or  nearly  complete,  catalogue  of  the  birds  of  India  worked  out  to 
the  full  extent  of  my  own  ability.  All  I  hoped  to  do  was  to  supply 
workers,  both  in  the  field  and  the  museum,  with  a  very  rough 
catalogue  shewing  what  advance  had  already  been  made  in  dis- 
coveries, nomenclature,  etc.,  since  Blanford's  time.  The  Avifauna, 
of  which  one  volume  has  appeared  whilst  a  second  is  nearly 
ready,  will  take  some  years  more  to  complete,  for  it  means  that 
every  bird's  name  has  to  be  worked  out  again,  de  novo,  to  see 
whether  it  is  correct  and  a  vast  amount  of  literature  has  to  be 
examined  and  consulted  to  see  what  new  facts,  if  any,  have  been 
recorded  concerning  it. 

It  is  hoped,  however,  that  the  catalogue  will  to  some  extent  fill 
the  gap  until  the  last  volume  of  the  new  edition  of  the  Avifauna 
appears  and  in  the  meanwhile  I  would  most  cordially  invite 
criticism  of  all  kinds  and  especially  in  reference  to  distribution. 
I  shall  also  be  most  grateful  if  m}-  attention  is  drawn  to  publications 
which  I  have,  or  appear  to  have,  overlooked.  As  the  first  volume 
of  the  Avifauna  is  already  out  I  have  added  to  the  catalogue  a  few 
pages  of  Corrigenda  and  Addenda  which  include  all  new  forms  des- 
cribed therein  and  corrects  names  wLere  necessary.  Other  than  on 
these  points  I  have  only  given  a  list  of  the  few  corrections  which  it 
appears  really  necessary  to  draw  attention  to.  The  catalogue,  I 
regret  to  say,  is  very  full  of  imperfections,  due  in  great  measure 
to  Author  and  Printer  being  so  far  apart,  but  obvious  misprints  and 
mistakes  in  punctuation  I  have  passed  over  without  comment,  they 
will  be  as  obvious  to  the  reader  as  to  the  writer  and  do  not  affect 
the  subject-matter  whilst  correction  would  only  add  to  the  cost  of 
publication.

BIRDS  OF  THE  INDIAN  ElAJPIRE. 

BY 

K.  0.  Stliart  Baker,  O.B.E.,  F.L.S,,  F.Z.S.,M.B.0.U,,  C.F.A.O.U. 

It  is  now  22  years  since  the  last  volume  of  Blanfords'  and  Gates' 
Avifauna  of  British  India  appeared  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  before 
very  long  the  Secretary  of  State  for  India  may  see  his  way  to 
sanction  a  new  edition  of  tlie  Fauna.  Pending  this,  Jiowever.  it 
seeras  desirable  that  something  should  be  done  to  show  our  workers 
in  India  what  has  been  accomplished  since  that  excellent  series  was 
published.  With  this  idea  in  view  I  have  compiled  the  following 
Catalogue. 

It  does  not  for  a  moment  pretend  to  be  complete  for  much  yet 
remains  to  be  done  in  working  out  species,  genera  and  even  the 
families  of  our  Indian  Birds.  On  the  other  hand  our  advance  in  In- 
dian ornithological  knowledg-e  has  been  great  since  1898  and  many 
ornithologists  have  contributed  to  this  advance.  First  and  foremost 
must  be  placed  Dr.  E.  Hartert  of  Tring  Museum  whose  wonderful 
work  on  Palaeartic  birds  (Die  Vogel  l\ala3artischen  Fauna)  con- 
tains au  endless  wealthof  information  on  all  our  Indian  visitors  from 
Northern  climes  in  addition  to  much  on  more  purely  tropical  forms. 
The  late  Col.  H.  H.  Harington  did  useful  work  amongst  the  Time- 
Hida3  and  others,  including  the  writer,  have  from  time  to  time  worked 
out  certain  families,  genem  and  species. 

The  classilication  adopted  is  that  of  Oates'  but  certain  birds  have 
been  removed  from  one  family  to  another  on  account  of  discoveries 
made  since  the  Fauna  was  written.  Especially  has  this  been  the 
case  in  the  sub-family  BrachiipterygineB  which  has  been  transferred 
almost  en  bloc  to  the  Tui-diclw. 

The  Catalogue  has  been,  as-ranged  piincipally  with  a  view  to 
economy  in  space  and  contains  only  the  following  details.  The 
scientific  and  trivial  name  of  each  bird ;  the  first  reference  with  date  ; 
when  the  name  in  the  reference  is  identical  with  that  given  in  the 
Catalogue  it  is  not  repeated  but  when  trinomials  are  used  in  the 
Catalogue  and  only  binomials  in  the  reference  the  initial  letter  of  the 
generic  name  is  given  and  not  the  name  in  full  and  where  the  generic 
name  differs  from  the  Catalogue  name  the  reference  is  then  oiven  in 
full.  Serial  numbers  are  given  and  following  these  the  number  in 
brackets  according  to  the  I\auna  of  British  India.  When  one 
number  covers  more  than  one  race  or  species  in  the  Fauna  it  is 
repeated  in  the  Catalogue  but  when  a  species  or  sub-species  is  oiven 
which  is  not  referred  to  at  all  in  the  I'auna  the  second  number  is 
left  blank.  After  the  reference  the  date  is  given  and  then  the  type 
locality  in  brackets  and,  in  some  cases  where  it  is  necessary  to  narrow 
the  type  limits  given,  a  second  locality  is  noted  and  vnc/erUved  and 
this  second   name  must  be    considered  the    type  local itv  in    future.

Thiii  is  required  as  in  some  instances,. such  as  "Himalayas",  "India", 
etc.,  the  one  locality  may  cover  ninuerous  races  and  it  is  therefore

The  Society  intends,  1  understand,  to  bring  uut  the  Cutalngue  in
