The foregoing catalogue of birds' dggs 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 vt'hich 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. CORRECTIONS. Page 4. For leucostemus read leucosternus. Page 11. Add Lawrence after Conirostum ornatum. INDEX FAMILIARUM.
