The Ornithologist's Guide to the Islands of Orkney and Shet- 

 land, by R. Dunn. The following statements are taken from 

 a printed notice. The author has been in the habit, for a 

 series of years, of making excursions to the Orkney and Shet- 

 land Isles, for the purpose of procuring specimens of natural 

 objects ; and, having sustained considerable trouble and incon- 

 venience, and great expense, from the want of some guide, by 

 which to regulate his movements, he proposes to publish the 

 Guide, in order to prevent the like results to others. " The 

 author does not affect to publish a scientific work on the sub- 

 ject, but trusts he shall be able to furnish much information, 

 of a nature not only interesting to the ornithologist and the 

 general reader, but to the traveller to these islands." One vol. 

 8vo ; its price, to subscribers, 45. It seems likely that this 

 work should conduce to the end proposed by a contributor 

 in VII. 573, 574.
