[Ueber Vogel aua dem Suifun-Gebiet, gesammelt von Friedrich und 

 Heinrich Dorries, Von Dr. Heinrich Bolau. J. f. O. 1881.] 



Dr. Bolau gives an account of the collection made by the 

 brothers Frederick and Henry Dorries on the Suifun river, 

 in Eussian Mantchuria. Sixty-six species are enumerated, 

 of which 30 are identical with species obtained by F. Dorries 

 on the island of Askold {Cf. Ibis, 1881, p. 474) . Miiscicapa 

 luteola of Pallas is shown not io be the female oi M. mughnaki. 

 Picvs scintilliceps of Bolau is the species recently described 

 by Mr. Hargitt as hjngipicus doerriesi (Ibis, 1881, p. 398). 



4. Brazier on Megapodius brazieri. 



[Remarks on Megapodius brazieri. By J. Brazier, C.M.Z.S, &c. Proe. 

 Linn. Soc. N. S. W. vi. p. loO.] 



Mr. Brazier corrects Mr. Ramsay^s statement (P. L. S. N. 

 S. W. 1879, p. 75) that this Megapode is from Savo, in the 

 Solomon group, the island where the eggs to which this name 

 ■was applied were taken being A^anua Lavu, in the Banks group. 

 He also points out that Megapodius brenchleyi, which Mr. 

 Ramsay regarded as probably identical, is from Gulf Island, 

 in the Solomon group, a very different locality.

[A Handbook of the Vertebrate Fauna of Yorkshire, being a Catalogue 

 of British. Animals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, and Fish, showing what 

 species are or have, within historical periods, been found in the County. 

 By William Eagle Clarke and William Denison Roebuck. 8vo. London : 



1881.] 



The object of this work is the enumeration of the verte- 

 bratcd animals now or formerly found in Yorkshire, and the 

 " careful definition of their faunistic position and geographical 

 distribution.'^ The number of British vertebrates which have 

 not occurred in Yorkshire being comparatively small, all 

 recognized British species have been inserted in the catalogue, 

 which thus gives us a complete list of British Vertebrates. 

 The physical aspect of Yorkshire is well described in the pre-
