Recently published Ornithological Woi-ks. 133 



This is a republication, witli additions and corrections and 

 with revised nomenclature, of the four well-known articles 

 on the nesting of Brazilian birds published by the author in 

 the ' Journal fiir Ornithologie ' for 1867 and 1868. In the 

 first section of the article (Parte Descriptiva) particulars of 

 all that has been recorded and is known of the nests and 

 eggs of 223 species are given in systematic order. In the 

 second part (Parta Comparativa) general conclusions are 

 stated as to the mode of nesting and style of eggs of the 

 various groups to which these 223 species belong. In the 

 third part (Parte Biologica) particulars are given as to 

 the number of eggs laid by each species, and as to the 

 season of the year in which nesting takes place. 



10. Finn's ' Fancy Waterfowl.' 



[Fancy Waterfowl. By Frank Finn, F.Z.S. 1 vol. 4to. 46 pp. 

 London, 1899.] 



This is a reprint of a series of popular articles that have 

 appeared in ' The Feathered World,^ in which the most 

 esteemed Waterfowl usually to be seen in collections on 

 ornamental waters are described and depicted. It will be 

 useful to amateurs as it is, but would have been more so if 

 all the species hitherto kept in captivity had been treated of, 

 so as to provide a complete work on the subject. 



11. Ihering on the Birds of Cantayallo and Nova Frihurgo. 



[Aves observadas em Cantagallo e Nova Friburgo. Por N. von 

 Ihering. Revista do Museu Paulista, iv. p. 149, 1900.] 



As an appendix to Herr Euler's memoir [supra, p. 132) 

 Prof. Ihering has composed a list of the 368 species of birds 

 that have been observed in the interior of the province 

 of Rio Janeiro, in the neighbourhood of Cantagallo and 

 of the adjoining settlement of New Fribourg, Our main 

 authority on this subject is Euler, who laboured long and 

 diligently in this district ; but Lund, Burmeister, and 

 others made some additions to the list. After the name 

 adopted for each species, the authority for its occurrence in 

 any locality is indicated bv the initials of the collector.
