28. Waterhouse on the Dates of Publication of Gould's 

 Works. 



[The Dates of Publication of some of the Zoological Works of the late 

 John Gould, F.E.S. Compiled by Frederick Herschel Waterhouse, A.L.S., 

 Librarian to the Zoological Society of London. 8vo. London, 1885 : 

 E. H. Porter.] 



This will be a useful pamphlet for all those who possess 

 copies of Gould's works or have occasion to refer to them. 

 An interesting Ijiographical sketch of the great ornithologist, 

 reprinted, with slight alterations, from ' Nature,' is prefixed. 

 We venture to suggest that a complete list of all Gould's 

 works and papers would have been a desirable addition to it.

 should be called to some other articles in the first seven 

 numbers now before us. In the first volume M.Y. Stejneger 

 shows that Limicola hartlaubi, Verr., of Madagascar, is pro- 

 bably not different from L. platyrhyncha. Ilerr Schalow 

 describes (from a coloured sketch and notes of the late 

 traveller Bohm) a new Touracoo, Musophaga boehmi, allied to 

 M. rossce, from the country beyond Lake Tanganyika. Dr. 

 A. B. Meyer figures a Notornis from the Southern Island of 

 New Zealand, and refers it to the species which he has called 

 iV. hochstetteri, believing that the bird from the North Island,
