INTRODUCTION.

Tux present Catalogue is only a preliminary to a more complete and extensive volume on the African birds in my collection, and may be considered nothing more than a rough list of the species in my possession, compiled for my own use, and for distribution among naturalists and collectors, in order to show what birds I have got and what desiderata are still wanting to make my list of African birds quite complete. I may mention that I am espe- cially anxious to procure complete series of every species; and in order to better accomplish this design, I have restricted my col- lection to the Orders Passeres and Picarie only ; and, considering the scarcity of collectors in Africa, I feel that I may congratulate myself in having got together such a large quantity of skins in less than two years. So much, however, remains to be done that I have been induced to publish this crude list in order that any one haying African birds to dispose of or exchange may inform me of the fact; and as I have duplicates of some of the rarer birds included in this volume, I shall be particularly glad to avail myself of any offers of exchange for species which I do not possess. I may add that I am always glad to take specimens if from any locality not mentioned in the present Catalogue; and I do not consider my series complete unless I have two adult males and

females, and young birds in all stages of plumage.

1V INTRODUCTION.

In the case of each species I have endeavoured to give a refe- rence to some standard work or paper on the ornithology of that

part of Africa from which the specimens come.

I cannot conclude these introductory remarks without con- gratulating myself on my rare good fortune in having had the supervision of my friend M. Jules Verreaux over my Collection ; and it is mainly at his representation that I have been induced to publish the present Catalogue. His talents are so well known that it is hardly to be wondered at that an examination of the series I possess of some of the rarer species should have led to some interesting identifications, which I lose no time in bringing

before the notice of ornithologists. Ry Bass
