PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITIONSince this work was first published, twenty-one years ago,several naturalists have visited <strong>the</strong> xirchipelago ; and in orderto give my readers <strong>the</strong> latest results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir researches I haveadded footnotes whenever my facts or conclusions have beenmodified by later discoveries. I have also made a few verbalalterations in <strong>the</strong> text to correct any small errors or obscui'ities.<strong>The</strong>se corrections and additions are however not numerous, and<strong>the</strong> work remains substantially <strong>the</strong> same as in <strong>the</strong> early editions.I may add that my complete collections <strong>of</strong> birds and butterfliesare now in <strong>the</strong> British Museum.Parkstone, Dorset,October, 1890.
