14-. Hinxman and Clarke on the Birds of West Ross- 

 shire. 



[A Contribution to the Vertebrate Fauna of West Ross-shire. By 

 Lionel W. Hinxman, B.A., and William Eagle Clarke, F.L.S., &c. 

 Proc. R. Pliys. Soc. Edinb. xii. p. 377.] 



After an instructive sketch of the physical features of 

 West Ross-shire, the authors give an annotated list of the 

 terrestrial vertebrates of that district. The birds as yet 

 noted are 132, of which 91 are reckoned as breeding species. 

 In West Eoss the nest of the Snow-Bunting [Plectrophenax 

 nivalis) has not yet been obtained, but fully-fledged young 

 have been observed, and there can be no doubt that the bird 

 breeds on the higher mountains. 



15. Jentink on the Birds of Holland. 



[Museum d'Histoire Naturelle des Pays-Bas. — Tome XIV. Catalogue 

 8yst6matique de la Collection de feu Mr. J. P. van Wickevoort Crom- 

 melin. Par F. A. Jentink. 8vo. Leide, 1894.] 



The valuable series of the birds of Holland formed by the 

 late Mr. J. P. van Wickevoort Crommelin (see Ibis, 1892, 

 p. 352) has been presented to the Leyden Museum by his 

 daughter, on condition of its being kept apart from the rest 

 of the Collections. Dr. Jentink now gives us a complete 

 catalogue of the specimens contained in it, which are alto- 

 gether 1968 in number, with dates and localities recorded 

 for each of them. The result is a catalogue of the birds of 

 Holland which will be most useful to the student of Euro- 

 pean ornithology.
