Excerpt from Catalogue of the Passeriformes, or Perching Birds, in the Collection of the British Museum, Vol. 1: Fringilliformes, Containing the Families Dicaeidae, Hirundinidae, Ampelidae, Mniotiltidae, and Motacillidae Museum of the two most important collections of south-american Birds that have been brought together in modern times. The first is the celebrated collection of American Passeres, formed by P. L. Sclater, Esq., in the course of the last thirty years. It contains most of the material on which the majority of the publications of this Ornithologist were based, and is, perhaps, the first collection of its kind that was made, at least in this country.
