107. Tschusi zu ^chmidhoffen on the Long-tailed Tits of 

 Europe. 



[Bemerkungen iiber Acredula caudata, Linn., und Acredula rosea, Blyth. 

 Von V. Tscliusi zu Schmidkotfen. Mitth. orn, Ver. Wien, 1884, p. 103.] 



This accurate student of the European ornis tells us that 

 in the district of Salzburg not only do both the (so-called) 

 species Acredula rosea and A. caudal a occur, but also every 

 possible form intermediate between the pure white-headed 

 and the black-striped birds. 



108. Tschusi zu Schmidhoffen on the Summer Duck in 

 Styria. 



[Anas sponsa, Linn., in Steiemiark. Von v. Tschusi zu Schmidhoften 

 Mitth. orn. Ver. Wien, 1884, p. SO.] 



The author gives several instances of the occurrence of the 

 Summer-Duck of North America (jEx sponsa) in Styria 

 (on the Mur near Gratz, in December 1883, and on the 

 Kainach several years before) . But there can be little doubt 

 that these are either birds escaped from ornamental waters 

 or descendants of imported birds, the Summer-Duck being a 

 purely Nearctic species, replaced in Northern Asia by jEx 

 galericulata. 



109. Vorderman on the Birds of Batavia. 



[Bataviasclie Vogels. — Part VI., and Alphabetische Index. Door A. 

 (t. Vorderman. Fsatuurk. Tijds. v. Nederl. Indie, Deel xliv. Afl. 3.] 



Mr. Vorderman now gives us a sixth part of his ' Bata- 

 vian Birds ' and an Index to conclude the series. Alto- 

 gether in the six parts 182 species have been described and 

 10 others mentioned in an appendix. But we should imagiue 

 that the number of birds to be found within a reasonable 

 distance of Batavia must be far greater than this. 



110. Vorderman's ' List of Javan Birds.' 



[List of the Birds from Java. Compiled by A. 6. Vorderman. Na- 

 tuurk. Tijds. v. Nederl. Indie, Deel xliv. Afl. 3.] 



This is a nominal list of the birds of Java, compiled from
