received in Europe from Emperor-William's-Lancl, as the 

 German portion of New Guinea is now called. This was 

 made by the well-known French traveller Laglaize at Kaf u, on 

 the north coast, in 143' 15' E. long. Two species [Paradisea 

 finschi, Meyer, and Cyclopsittacus edwardsi, Oust.) had pre- 

 viously been described from the same locality. These, added 

 to the 24- of which examples were in Laglaize^s collection, 

 make the total number of species as yet known from Lifu 26, 

 of which the list is here given. Besides these, Salvadori 

 (Atti 11. Ac. Sc. Torino, xiii, p. 317) has recorded 16 species 

 of birds obtained on Tarawai Island, off the north coast of 

 New Guinea, which is probably within the limits of the 

 recent German acquisitions. But there is some little un- 

 certainty as to the identification of this little-known island 

 (or islands ?) .

In the first paper Prof. IMojsisovics gives us an interesting 

 account of his excursion to Southern Hungary and Sclavonia 

 in May 1884, when he visited some of the great breeding- 

 places of Ardeidse and other aquatic birds on the Danube 

 and Save. At Nestin, near Illok, on the Danube, an estate
