114. Stuart Baker on Indian Ducks. 



[Indian Ducks and their Allies. By E. C Stuart Baker, F.Z.S. 

 Bombay Natural History Society's Journal, 1898-1900.] 



Mr. Stuart Baker has kindly sent us a complete copy 

 (provided with a new titlepage) of liis series of papers on 

 the Indian Anatidae and their allies^ which have appeared 

 during the past two years in the 'Journal of the Bombay 

 Natural History Society.' They contain a good account of 

 the species of this favourite group and many excellent field- 

 notes, the results of the author's long experience in India. 

 A series of coloured plates, drawn by Keulemans, illustrate 

 the following species : — Cygnas olor, C. ininor (i. e. C. bew- 

 icki), Anser albifrons, A. indicus, Dendrocycna fulva, Eanetta 

 falcata, Nettion albiyulare, Marmaronetta angustirostris, 

 Nyroca baert, Erisniatura leueocephala, and Merganser ser- 

 rator. We are not surprised to see that the author refuses 

 to follow the British Museum Catalogue in separating 

 "Merganser comatus" from M. castor. 



In a postscript INlr. Stuart Baker allows that, so far as 

 we know at present, Cygnus bewicki has never occurred in 

 India.

Messrs. Friedlander and Son have kindly sent us a copy 

 of the recently issued Supplement to the Zoological Address- 

 Book of 1895, a most useful publication, with which most 

 of our readers are, uo doubt, well acquainted. The Supple- 

 ment carries on, augments, and corrects the information 

 contained in the original volume with matter that has accu- 

 mulated during the past five years. That it is free from 

 errors and omissions no one would venture to assert, but
