somewhat flat. In Part VII. he is again very happy in his 

 3 plates of the Eider^ and the 2 of the Goosander, the young 

 of which just emerging from the downy stage have never, 

 we believe, been figured before — certainly never so well. 

 The phases of plumage in the Pomatorhiue Skua are in- 

 teresting. Part VIII. contains Montagu's Harrier (2 

 plates). Woodcock (2 plates), and 1 plate each of the 

 Whooper, Pochard, Goldeneye, and Loug-tailed Skua. In 

 Part IX. 3 plates are devoted to the Shoveller, and 1 each 

 to the Dotterel, Black-tailed Godwit, Great Crested Grebe, 

 Great Black-backed Gull, and Fulmar. The letterpress 

 relating to these and to many other species is excellent.

 Natural History Society of Montreal, and replacing the Canadian Natu- 

 ralist. Vol. I. Nos. 2-4.] 



It could hardly be expected that a journal of this kind 

 would contain much ornithological matter, but we observe 

 an article in No. 4, by Mr. C. N. Bell, which gives an in- 

 teresting account of the '' Dance of the Prairie Chicken " 

 {Pedicecetes phasianellus) . 



37. Cory's New List of West-Indian Birds. 



[A List of the Birds of the West Indies, including the Bahama Islands 

 and the Greater and Lesser Antilles, excepting the Islands of Tobago 

 and Trinidad. By Charles B, Cory. Revised Edition. 4to. Boston, 

 U.S.A. : 1886.] 



This is a new and revised edition of the useful list of West- 

 Indian Birds, of which we have spoken in last yearns volume 

 (Ibis, 1885, p. 443). The names are arranged in systematic 

 order, and the localities only are added. A few additional 

 tables showing the species peculiar to each individual island 

 would have increased the xisefulness of the work.
