The above parts of this work have reached us since our 

 last notice of it (Ibis, 1883, p. 378). The letterpress con- 

 tinues to be all that might be expected from its author, and 

 amongst the rarer species we notice the description and 

 figure of the specimen of Qiierquedula formosa obtained, 

 for the first time in Italy (near IModena), in January 1882.
