_P._ 30. The statement as to the fulmar petrel, which Professor A. Newton assures me is erroneous, has been modified.
_P._ 34. A note is added as to Darwin's statement about the missel and song-thrushes in Scotland.
_P._ 172. An error as to the differently-coloured herds of cattle in the Falkland Islands, is corrected.
