[As Avea do PJstado do Eio Grande do Siil. For H. von Ihering. 

 12ino. Alegre, ] 899. 42 pp.] 



This is a reprint of an article contributed by Dr. von 

 Ihering to the ' Aiinuario ^ of the Brazihan State of Rio 

 Grande do Sul for 1900. After a preface, which contains 

 general remarks on the sources of our knowledge of the 

 Avifauna of this district and on its chief peculiarities, the 

 author gives a complete list of the 362 species known to him 

 as occurring within its limits, adding references to his list of 

 the birds of the State of S. Paulo lately published in the 

 third volume of tlie ' Revista do Museu Paulista ' * and short 

 descriptions of the few species of Rio Grande do Sul which 

 are not found in the State of S. Paulo. 



13. Ihering on the Nesting of Brazilian Birds. 



[Catalogo Critico-comparativo dos Ninlios e Ovos das Aves do Brasil. 

 Por H. von Iheiing. Eevista do Museu Paulista, iv. p. 191, 1900.] 



In this memoir the energetic Director of the IVIuseu Paulista 

 has endeavoured to collect together all the information yet 

 recorded concerning the nests and eggs of the birds of Brazil. 

 The notes are arranged systematically according to the 

 British ]\Iuseum Catalogue of Birds, and references are 

 given to the principal authorities on each species, while in 

 some cases serious discrepancies in the different accounts of 

 the same nest are pointed out. Some twenty-five nests are 

 illustrated by figures in the text. This is a most useful 

 compilation, and forms an excellent base for future work on 

 a much neglected subject. 



14. ' Irish Naturalist.' 



[The Irish Naturalist. A Monthly Journal of General Irish Natural 

 History. Edited by G. H. Carpenter and R. Lloyd Praeger. Vol. ix. 

 Nos. 1-12.] 



We are glad to see the ornithological reputation of this 

 Magazine fairly maintained, and it would take still higher 

 rank if certain Irishmen contributed to its support, instead of 

 sending their little papers about Ireland to be published in 



* See 'Ibi.=^,' 3^00, p. 400.
