30. Reichenow on Parrots.

 dischen Vogel, mit erlauterndem Text. Allen Naturfreunden, insbesondere 

 den Liebhaberu auslandischer Stubenvogel und Besiichern zoologischer 

 Garten, gewidmet von Dr. Ant. Reichenow. Lief. xi. Folio. Cassel : 



1883.] 



The eleventh part terminates Dr. Reichenow's work, the 

 original plan of which has been modified so as to restrict it 

 to the Parrots. Of this group it forms, as now completed, 

 an illustrated monograph. The systematic list at tlie end 

 contains the names of 448 species, and there are, we believe, 

 a few others, nearly all recently described, which Dr. Reich- 

 enow has not included. The figui'cs (by Miitzel) are well 

 drawn and coloured, the plates being 33 hi number. The 

 work is decidedly of a useful nature for the ready identifica- 

 tion of the birds of this group ; but we regret to observe the 

 many deviations from the nomenclature usually adopted. 



31. Ridgway on neiv Birds from the Commander Islands 

 and Petropaulovski. 



[Descriptions of some Birds supposed to be undescribed from the Com- 

 mander Islands and Petropaulovski, collected by Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, 

 U.S. Signal Service. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1883, p. 90.] 



The species described are Haliaetus hypoleucus from Bering 

 Island, Acrocephalus dybowskii from Petropaulovski, Anor- 

 thura pallescens from Bering Island, Hirundo saturata from 

 Petropaulovski, and Anthus stejnegeri (if distinct from A.ja- 

 poniciis) from the Commander Islands.
