the ' Journal fiir Ornitliologie.^ The present volume supplies 

 the deficiency for the first fifteen volumes of the Journal, i. e. 

 from 1853, the date of its appearance, to 1867. Thus we now 

 have a complete index of this important serial, the want of which 

 was much felt by working ornithologists ; and we owe our best 

 thanks to Dr. Cabauis, the editor, to Herr Anton Reichenow, 

 and to Herr Max Helm, who have cooperated with him in elabo- 

 rating this useful and necessary work.

A letter addressed by M. Carreau to M. G. Andelle, dated 

 Patang (Batong) 27th February, 1870, in which interesting 

 details are given concerning the habits and mode of capture of 

 Thawnalea amherstice at Ta-lin-pin and Ta-tsien-lou, on the 

 Tibetian frontier. It appears that the sum there given to the 

 natives for each living bird brought in was 20 sous. In Europe 

 one pair of this bird were recently sold for about £160 ! Notes 

 are also given upon some of the other Phasianidse of this district, 

 e, g. Crossoptilon Vhuysii and Ithaginis geoffroii.
