3. 'Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club.' 



[Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club : a Quarterly Journal of 

 Ornithology. Vol. viii., October 1883. No. 4.] 



As will be seen by the report of the proceedings of the 

 foundation-meeting of the American Ornithologists' Union, 

 which we have given above in full, the ^Bulletin of the 

 Nuttall Ornithological Club ' has now become the Journal of 

 the A. O. U., and will reappear in this form in January next 

 under the editorship of Mr. J. A. Allen. The number now 

 before us therefore concludes the present series of the 

 ^Bulletin.' It contains several very interesting articles. 



Messrs. Allen and Brews. er finish their list of the birds 

 observed in the vicinity of Colorado Springs in the spring of 

 1882, and notice the occurrence of specimens oiJunco aikeni, 

 Cypselus saxatilis, and other scarce species. Mr. W. B. 

 Barron continues his acceptable notes on the birds of the 

 Lower Uruguay, and records valuable particulars of the 

 nesting-habits of many little-known birds, amongst which 

 are twelve of the Synallaxine group. Phacellodomus sibi- 

 latrix, Doering, is said to be abundant among the open woods 

 along the Uruguay. Dr. C. Hart Merriam records the oc- 

 currence of Vireo flavo-viridis in the province of Quebec. 

 Mr. Brewster describes an " apparently new Gull/^ allied to 

 Larus glaucescens, as Larus kumlieni. The new species is 

 based on three specimens obtained in Cumberland Sound, 

 Bay of Fundy, and near Grand Menan. Finally Dr. Mer- 

 riam records the breeding of the Harlequin Duck (^Histri- 

 onicus minutus) in Newfoundland.
