who has made this computation at my request, considers that the
number may even be higher than 1500, as many of the species in Gray s
‘ Hand-Hst ’ have not been recognized.
I trust that the Index issued with the present volume will be
found of service, as not only the author himself, but also some other
ornithologists, have represented to me that such an Index would greatly
increase the utility of the work.
