Abstract
THIS “List of European Birds,” including all the species found in the Western Palæarctic region, has been very carefully revised by Mr. Dresser, and appears opportunely on the completion of his great work on the “Birds of Europe.” It will be most useful as a check list for labelling, or for reference in making exchanges of birds and birds' eggs. The classification is the same as that adopted in the “Birds of Europe,” and follows that of Prof. Huxley, which still appears to Mr. Dresser to be the best as yet elaborated. The species are numbered consecutively, in order to facilitate reference. A very few alterations in the nomenclature have been made: 623 species are enumerated, and the list is published at the low price of one shilling.
