108 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



As was to be expected, the greater part of the new species 

 in the collections sent to Lisbon from time to time have 

 already been described; but we notice three new names in this 

 work, two of them applied to Swifts — Cypselus toulsoni (p. 158) 

 and C.finschi (p. 156), the former from Loanda, the latter 

 from Angola, — and one to a Shrike, Dryoscopus neglectus, 

 from Angola and Damaraland. The latter bird has frequently 

 been called D. major by writers on South- African ornithology. 

 Four plates, drawn by Keulemans and prepared in this 

 country, accompany this part, on which are figured Craterojms 

 hartlaubi and C.gutturalis (pi. i.), Platystira minulla (pi. iii.), 

 Telephonus anchietcR (pi. iv.), and Gyps africanus (pi. ix.). 



This book, so far as Portugal is concerned, redeems the 

 reproach that no ornithological work of importance has pro- 

 ceeded from the Iberian peninsula since the days of Azara. 

 That it does so is a credit to Prof. Bocage and to the Grovern- 

 ment Office under whose auspices his work appears. 



9. Dr. Bruggemann on Birds from S.E. Borneo. 



[Ueber eine Vogelsammluug aus Siidost-Borneo. Von Dr. F. Briigge- 

 mann. Abli. nat. Vereins zu Bremen, vol. v. p. 453.] 



This is an account of a collection of birds sent to the 

 Darmstadt Museum from Moera Teweh, in the interior 

 of S.E. Borneo. There were 254 skins, referable to 93 

 species. Two species [Hemilophus fischeri and Cyornis 

 turcosa) are described as new. But the prize of the collection 

 was Polyplectron schleiermacheri [cf. Ibis, 1877, p. 494), of 

 which fine and most distinct species a figure is now given. 



The species called " Batrachostomus stellatus (Gould) ,^^ 

 t. c. p. 456, Dr. Bruggemann has subsequently distinguished 

 as B. adspersus (Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, vol. xx. p. 178, 

 Sept. 1877). 



10. Dr. Bruggemann on Birds from Celebes. 



[Naclitriigliche Notizen zur Ornithologie von Celebes. Yon Dr. F. 

 Bruggemann. Abb. nat. Vereins zu Bremen, vol. v. p. 4G4.] 



This is a supplement to Dr. Briiggemann^s former article 

 on the same subject (Abh. nat. Vcr. zu Bremen, v. p. 35),
