45. Dalgleish's List of the Birds of Ardnamurchan, Argyll- 

 shire. 



[List of the Birds which have been observed in the district of Ardna- 

 murchan, Argyllshire. By John J. Dalgleish. Pr. Nat. Hist. Soc. Glas- 

 gow, 1877, p. 259.]

 during the last twenty years in the peninsula of Ardnamur-

 view, as being the most westerly portion of the mainland of 

 Great Britain. 



46. Moore's ' Columbarium.' 



[Moore's ' Columbarium : ' Reprinted from the original edition of 1735, 

 by W. B. Tegetmeier. London, 1879.] 



Mr. Tegetmeier, to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude for 

 reprinting Boddaert^s ' Table des Planches Enluminees,^ has 

 now issued a reprint of a scarce tract on a subject in which 

 he is one of the first living exponents. The chief interest of 

 IMoore's ' Columbarium ' consists in the careful descriptions 

 of the different races of the domestic Pigeon as they existed 

 in 1735, enabling a comparison to be made with those of the 

 present day. The alterations produced by careful breeding, 

 carried on for 150 generations, can thus be traced. Several 

 editions of the work have been issued at various times ; but 

 the present reprint is a verbatim reproduction of the first 

 edition of 1735.

 nouvelles par E. Oustalet. Nouv. Arch, du Mus. ser. 2, p. 167, pis. 6, 7.] 



In this paper, which appears to have been written before 

 Mr. Elliot's and Dr. Reichenow's memoirs on the same sub- 

 ject, M. Oustalet discusses the classification of the Ibises, 

 which he places as a subfamily, Ibidinse, of the family Tanta-
