has been published by Professor Bocage, wherein will be found a
full account of Senor Anchieta’s labours. W^e cannot too warmly
express our thanks to our excellent friend above mentioned, who
has sent us over from Lisbon many rare species to aid us in the
preparation of the present work.
Finally, we have' deemed it of some advantage to future students
of South African ornithology to give a list of the principal papers
published in the Ibis which relate, more or less, to the subject of
the present book; and we only regret that space has not allowed
us to give more than the present slight sketch of the labours of
our predecessors in the field of South African ornithology.
