other birds. The new Paradise-bird, a most beautiful form 

 allied to Lophorhina, but with lengthened middle tail-feathers,

51. Millais on the British Tetraonidse. 



[Game Birds and Shooting-Sketches, illustrating the Habits, Modes of 

 Capture, Stages of Plumage, and the Hybrids and Varieties which occur 

 amongst them. By John Guille Millais, F.Z.S. &c. Second edition. 

 Eoyal 8vo. London, 1894. Henry Sotheran & Co.] 



In 'The Ibis/ 1892, pp. 453-455, we noticed favourably 

 and at some length the first (folio) edition of this work, ex- 

 pressing our regret that its costliness must necessarily restrict 

 the wide circulation it so well deserved. Mr, Millais appears 

 to have taken the hint, and, by omitting the large coloured 

 plates, '' made in Germany ,^^ he has reduced the book in 

 price and also in size, which is doubly advantageous. In the 

 text we do not find any material alteration, and the illus- 

 trations are almost as before ; black and white photogravures 

 being substituted for the coloured ones above mentioned. 

 We have now both editions, but the present handy volume will 

 undoubtedly be the one to which we shall more frequently 

 turn, and we can thoroughly recommend it to our readers.

[Oological Notes. By Alfred J. North, F.L.S. Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S.

Continuing his interesting notes on the nesting of Aus- 

 tralian birds, Mr. North describes the nest and eggs of 

 Ptilotis analog a, from North-eastern Queensland, and eggs of 

 a Cuckoo, believed to belong to Lamprococcyx malayanus, 

 from the same district. The latter were found in nests of 

 Gerygone magnirostris.
