Recently published Ornithological Works. 395 



is in perfect order, and has been supplemented hy most, if 

 not all, of the specimina desiderata for which Mr. Gnrney 

 appeals at the close of the volume, it may be desirable to 

 republish the catalogue on a more extended scale, giving the 

 exact localities and authorities for each individual specimen. 



From the summary of species it would appear that, of 

 about 470 known Accipitres, 403 are represented in the 

 Norwich Collection. Of 2(58 Striges, 195 are represented 

 in the same collection. A good portait of John Henry 

 Gurney, with his familiar signature underneath, forms a 

 most appropriate frontispiece to the present volume. 



80. Hartert on Birds from the Congo Free State. 



[On some Birds from the Congo Region. By Ernst Hartert. Novitatea 

 Zool. ii. p. 55.] 



Mr. Hartert describes as new Lophoceros granti, from the 

 Aruwimi, and Onychognathus intermedins, from Lukolele, on 

 the Congo, and records the occurrence of the rare Swift, 

 Chaetura cassini, Scl., on the Aruwimi. 



81. Hartert on a Swift from Tunis. 



[On Micropus affiiiis (Gray & Hardw.). By Ernst Hartert. Novitates

 1894, p. 192) to be ''identical " with the Palestine form of 

 Cypselus affinis, which was at one time named C. galilceensis. 

 It might, however, be possible, he says, to consider this 

 form as a distinct subspecies of C. affiiiis, though many 

 specimens cannot be assigned to one or the other with 

 certainty. 



82. Kelsall on a new Jungle-foivl. 



[Description of a new species of Jungle-fowl, said to come from 

 Borneo. By Lieut. II. J. Kelsall, R.A. Journ. Straits Br. E. As. Soc,
