NOTIFICATION TO THE PARTIES


No. 687                                  Lausanne, 24 August 1992


CONCERNING:


                    APPENDICES I, II AND III

                          Corrections


1.Since  the  publication of Appendices I,  II  and  III  to  the
  Convention  as amended at the eighth meeting of the  Conference
  of  the  Parties (see Notification to Contracting and Signatory
  States  of the Convention dated 24 April 1992), the Secretariat
  has  been  informed that the appendices, as published,  omitted
  some  changes  generated  by the adoption,  through  Resolution
  Conf.  8.18, of Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World
  (Charles  G.  Sibley  and  Burt  L.  Monroe,  Jr,  1990,   Yale
  University  Press) as the standard reference to the  genus  and
  species names of birds.

2.These changes are the following:

     Ä   Cyanoramphus cookii is included in Appendix I  with  the
     annotation  "Also referenced as Cyanoramphus  novaezelandiae
     cookii";

     Ä   Pitta  nympha  replaces in Appendix II  Pitta  brachyura
     nympha,  with  the  annotation  "Also  referenced  as  Pitta
     brachyura nympha";

     Ä   Agelaius  flavus  replaces in  Appendix  III  Xanthopsar
     flavus,  with the annotation "Also referenced as  Xanthopsar
     flavus";

     Ä   Serinus  canicapillus replaces in Appendix  III  Serinus
     gularis,  with  the annotation "Also referenced  as  Serinus
     gularis (in part)".

3.To  avoid  additional difficulties, the above  annotations  are
  numbered  without  changing  the  numbers  of  the  annotations
  existing in the appendices communicated on 24 April 1992.

4.The  Secretariat takes this opportunity to inform  the  Parties
  that  the species "Bostrichya rara" in Appendix III should read
  "Bostrychia rara".

5.Revised  pages  of  Appendices  I,  II  and  III  are  attached
  herewith.

6.The  Secretariat  expresses its regrets for the  omissions  and
  any resulting inconvenience.
