 fessor J. A, Allen follows with an article on '' Aptoso- 

 chromatism," to which Mr. Bonhote may possibly be 

 inclined to reply ; and Mr. Carroll gives notes on the birds of 

 Refugio County, Texas. Mr. W. H. Kobbe's account of the 

 birds of Cape Disappointment, Washington State, deserves 

 mention. Students of American Ornithology will appreciate 

 Prof. Allen's remarks on North-American birds collected at 

 Santa Marta, Colombia. Mr. Jonathan Dwight, Jun., has a

 E. Newman (Rusticus), E. Blyth (Zuophilus), and others, 

 nor have writers of the present day failed to interest them- 

 selves to a considerable extent in its Avifauna, the county 

 has been singularly unfortunate in that it has never com- 

 manded the undivided attention of any author, with regard 

 to its Birds, until so near the end of the century. 



In the volume before us, however, Mr. Bucknill has

 accounts in considerable detail of their distribution. The
