the Little Stint were those taken on July 22nd, 1875, by 

 Mr. Harvie-Brown, on the eastern shores of the lagoon of 

 the Pechora, and a few days later a score had been obtained 

 by the expedition. Other eggs, equally authentic, have since 

 been taken in Lapland, Nova Zembla, and Kolguef. It is 

 extremely unlikely that the identification of the species in the 

 list is always correct. No. 10 doubtless refers to Phylloscopus 

 tristis, and not to the ChiffchafiF; No. 12 is more likely to 

 be a Redpoll than a Siskin ; No. 39 is doubtless JLgialitis 

 hiaticula, and not jE. curonica ; and No. 53 is more likely 

 to be Stercurarius richardsoni than S. catarractes. In but 

 few cases is the exact locality given, so that, on the whole, we 

 must condemn the list as worse than useless." 



117. Meyer and Wiglesworth on Birds from North Celebes.

 gesammelten Vogel. Von A. B. Meyer u. L. W. Wiglesworth. Abh.

After their journey to Ceylon the brothers Sarasin* 

 selected Celebes as a new field of work, and proceeded there 

 about two years ago. Two short papers have already been 

 published to describe their newly-discovered species. The 

 authors now give us a complete systematic account of the 

 whole of Messrs. Sarasin's collections from the above island, 

 consisting of 335 bird-skins, referable to 152 species. Alto- 

 gether Messrs. Sarasin have discovered in Celebes six new 

 species, of which one [Myza sarasinorum) belongs to a new 

 genus of Meliphagidse ; and they have, besides, added seven 

 (previously known) species to the avifauna of this island.
