[Appunti ornitologici. Comunicazione del socio Davide Carazzi. Boll. 

 d. Soc. d. Naturalist! in Napoli, ser. 1, vol. i. fasc. 1, 1887.] 



In these notes are recorded the occurrence of two examples 

 of Falco eleonorce near Spezia in 1878, and of Pterocles 

 alchata near Leghorn in 1863. The latter is now in the 

 museum at Florence^ an apparently overlooked example of a 

 species which had not previously been obtained on the main- 

 land of Italy, as now politically restricted, although one ob- 

 tained at Nice since its annexation by France is in the Floren- 

 tine Museum.

97. Dixon (J. H.) on the Birds of Gairloch. 



[Gairloch in North-west Ross-sMre : its Kecords, Traditions, Inhabi- 

 tants, and Natural History, with a guide to Gairloch and Loch Maree, 

 and a Map and illustrations. By John H. Dixon. 8vo. Edinburgh : 

 1886.] 



In this interesting work Chapter VI. is devoted to a list of 

 the birds of Gairloch, compiled with the aid of Mr. Osgood 

 H. Mackenzie, of Inverness, whose observations extend over 

 many years. The result of this partnership is one of the 

 best local lists that we have ever read, with notes on more 

 than 150 species. The evidence that the Sclavoniau Grebe 

 (Podicipes auritus) breeds near Gairloch appears nearly cou- 

 <!nsive.
