The first ; Hand-list ' of Birds was compiled by the late George Eobert Gray, and published by the Trustees of the British Museum in three parts, in the years 1869, 1870, and 1871. This work has long been out of print, and the time seems to have come when a new Hand- list would be of advantage to working ornithologists. This new ' Hand-list ' has been written by Dr. Jt. Bowdler Sharpe, the author of the greater part of the ' Catalogue of Birds.' To the latter work reference is made throughout, and the ' Hand-list ' is avowedly founded upon the ' Catalogue ' ; but the new speeies described since the publication of the twenty-seven volumes which comprise the latter work will be here included, so as to bring the list of the known species of birds up to date. I thoroughly endorse the author's remarks as to the value of the co-operation which he has received from distinguished ornithologists in this and other countries. The desire which has been evinced by so many ornithologists to make this new ' Hand-list ' complete will be fully appreciated by all those who desire the progress of Zoological Science. E. EAT LANKESTER, Director, Natural History Departments, July 12, 1899. , British Museum. a 2 INTRODUCTION. Etbe since the publication of the ' Catalogue of Birds ' I have kept a record of the additional species described, and my notes will be published in the supplementary volumes of the ' Catalogue ' to be issued shortly. The writing of these notes has been rendered the more easy by the fact that for many years I have compiled the ' Aves ' portion of the ' Zoological Record.' It gave me, therefore, great pleasure when the Trustees of the British Museum consented to publish a new ' Hand-list of Birds,' since the need of such a work has long been recognized by ornithologists. The present compilation differs only from that of my predecessor, the late George Robert Gray, in that I have had the advantage of being able to refer to the ' Catalogue of Birds,' where a full synonymy of each species will be found. The geographical range is here given as concisely as possible, and is based on the conclusions derived from the ' Catalogue,' instead of being founded chiefly on the material in the British Museum, as was done in Gray's ' Hand-list.' The system of classification followed in the present work is that proposed by myself in 1891, in my address to the Second Ornithological Congress at Buda-Pest. I have seen no reason to modify the conclusions there recorded in any material degree. I have ventured to incorporate in what appears to me to be their natural position the extinct forms of birds ; but it is difficult to discover all the descriptions of fossil birds, scattered as they are through so many publications. In some of my volumes of the ' Catalogue ' fossil forms are enumerated, but in most of the volumes no record of the extinct birds has been attempted. My work in this direction has been VI ISTEODUCTIOIT. principally founded on the ' Catalogue of Fossil Birds ' written by Mr. E. Lydekker, F.E.S., and published by the Trustees in 1891. The proofs of the present volume have been submitted to Professor Milne- Edwards, the leading authority on the subject, and also to Dr. Shufeldt, who has done much work on the fossil forms of bird-life in America. I am, however, especially indebted to my colleague, Mr. C. W. Andrews, of the Geological Department, who has kindly looked over all the proofs; I am under great obligations to him for useful hints and corrections. All extinct forms are printed in antique type, and the latter has also been adopted for recent species now known to be extinct, such as Camptolmmus labradorius (p. 225). I cannot too warmly express my thanks to the undermentioned ornithologists, who have revised the proof-sheets of this work, and given to it the importance of an international publication. Many of them have freely given me their original notes, have saved me from many slips, and have greatly enhanced the value of the work. I can only assure them of my gratitude for their unselfishness, and nothing in my life has pleased me more than to receive the co-operation of so many of the leading ornithologists of the day, as has been the case in the present instance. Proofs have been submitted to and corrected by the following ornithologists : — England.— Hon. Walter Eothsehild, M.P., Mr. Ernst Hartert, Dr. P. L. Sclater, Mr. W. E. Ogilvie Grant, Mr. W. P. Pycraft, Mr. Howard Saunders, Mr. E. W. Oates. France. — Professor Milne-Edwards, Dr. E. Oustalet. Holland. — Dr. Otto Finsch. Germany. — Professor A. Eeichenow, Dr. A. B. Meyer, Count von Berlepsch. Russia. — Dr. Bianchi. Italy. — Count Salvador]'. America. — Prof. Elliott Coues, Prof. Eobert Eidgway, Dr. L. Stejneger, Prof. J. A, Allen, Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Mr C. W. Eichmond. INTRODUCTION. Vll To all these gentlemen I tender my sincere thanks for their loyal friendship and assistance. In most cases I have followed their sugges- tions, especially in the groups with which I have not an intimate personal acquaintance. My views on certain aspects' of nomenclature are so well known that slight differences must exist between some of us on a few minor points, and on these there will always be a variation in individual opinion. In the main I have adhered strictly to the nomenclature of the ' Catalogue of Birds,' and in a few cases only have I ventured to disagree with the conclusions of the writers. E. BOWDLEE SHAEPE.
