in the months of January and March. The old-fashioned ai d 

 mostly erroneous nomenclature of Gay is employed instead 

 of James's New Chilian List ; and we fear that the names 

 cannot always he relied upon : — for example, the so-called 

 " Turdus f us cater,'' which is resident at Penafloris, no doubt, 

 T. mageJlanicus. Other errors are obvious, and M, Lataste 

 should send his specimens home for determination if he 

 cannot distinguish them himself.

Mr. Winge's eleventh annual report on the birds met with at 

 the Danish Light-stations is drawn up in his habitually clear 

 and exhaustive manner. Thirty-six stations sent 780 speci- 

 mens of birds in 1893, which are referred to 56 species. 

 The usual field-notes are given, and an outline map shows 

 the exact position of the various light-houses. 



XIV. — Letters, Extracts, Notices, ^c. 



We have received the following letters, addressed to the 

 Editors, since our last issue : — 



Sirs, — With reference to the article '^Ornithology at 

 Munich, Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Frankfort, and Cassel,"" in 

 'The Ibis' of January last (p. 106), I beg leave to address 

 you a few lines. 



The " Zoologisch-zootomische Sammlung'' at Munich 

 belongs to the State. It is true there are no official orni- 

 thologists attached thereto, but some gentlemen residing at 

 Munich, who are chiefly conversant with Bavarian orni- 

 thology (such as the undersigned), would most willingly have 

 undertaken to conduct Mr. Sclater, and have given him all the 

 infoimation at their disposal concerning German andBavaiian 

 birds.
