Ox completing the first volume of the Seventh Series of 'TJie Ibis,' the Editors have a few remarks to offer to the Members of the British Ornithologists' Union.
It will ])(; observed, perhaps, that the present volume is not quite so tliick as some of those which liave immediately preceded it. This is owing to the fact that it vvill shortly be necessary to pay, out of the funds of the Union, for the General Index to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Series of this Journal, v/hich, as was agreed at the last Annual General Meeting, is now being proceeded with under the superintendence of Mr. Salvin. Under these circumstances it was thought by the Committee that it would be expedient to effect a slight ec(momy in expenditure by reducing the number of pages in the present volume ; and the Editors have accordingly deferred until the next issue several papers which might have formed part of the present number.
The Editors are pleased to have been able to publish two important memoirs on Pterylosis in the present
PREFACE.
volume. They are of opinioa that more attention should be devoted to this important branch of Ornithology, and they trust that some of the younger Members of the Union will take up the subject. Even among British birds there is ample material to be found for such investigations.

I. — A Contribution to the Pterylography of the Tinami- formes. By W. P. Pycraft, M.B.O.U.^ Assistant to the Linacre Professor of Comparative Anatomy^ Oxford.
(Plates I.-III.)
Some time since, Dr. Sclater forwarded me an adult and two nestlings of tlie Martineta Tinamou, Calodromas elegans, and, later on, an adult of the Rufous Tinamou, Rhynchotis rufescens, requesting at the same time that I would furnish him with a report thereon for the pages of ' The Ibis.'
The present paper may be considered as the first section of this report, and describes the pterylosis of these birds. I have assumed, as a matter of course, that my readers are acquainted with the salient features of the science of pterylography, and therefore I have not attempted to preface my descriptions with introductory remarks appertaining thereto.
My investigations have been carried out in the laboratories of the Department of Comparative Anatomy of the Museum, at such odd moments as I could manage to spare from other and more pressing work, and thus, perhaps, ray apparent

sloth will be considered to have been satisfactorily explained away.
For purposes of convenience it will be expedient to de- scribe the pterylosis of the adult specimens first, commencing with —
1. Calodromas elegans. (Plates I., II.)
PterylcB : —
Pt. capitis (PI. I., Pt.cap.). — The plumage of the head is produced forward on each side of the beak into a conical process, terminating at the posterior angle of the external nares. The two processes enclose between them a large portion of the cere"^. The eyelids are provided with eye- lashes.
The feathers of the inter-ramal space are collected into a distinct tract, with a relatively wide apterion on either side ; at a point corresponding to the angle of the gape the apterion ends abruptly, the plumage blending with that of the side of the head and neck.
Pt. spinalis (PI. II., Pt.s.). — Arising at the nape of the neckj it divides soon afterwards into two long narrow tracts enclosing a spacef. Coalescing between the humeral tracts, they soon after again divide, and at the same time increase greatly in width. Just in front of the thigh a branch is sent down to the femoral tract, the main stems of the tract retaining their independence for a short distance further, and then fuse at a point roughly corresponding with a line drawn across the back from the acetabulum. The remainder of the tract is now continued backwards, finally to blend with the pteryla caudse (PI.
