This is a contribution to that excellent piece of work, 

 Reiser's ' Ornis Baleanica/ which is now approaching com- 

 pletion, and gives an account of the author's travels in 

 Montenegro and the adjoining countries in pursuit of a 

 becter knowledge of their birds. The appended list of 

 species met with in Montenegro and on the Albanian 

 frontiers contains 256 names. Amongst them are Accipiter 

 brevipes Severzow, Gypaetus barbatus, and Anser neglectus 

 Suschkin. 



11. Godman's ' Biologia Centrali- Americana.^ 



[Biologia Central!- Americana ; or, Contributions to the Knowledge 

 of the Fauna and Flora of Mexico and Central America. Edited 

 by F. DuCane Godman. (Zoology.) Parts CLXIII.-CLXVIII. 

 (R. II. Porter.)] 



Good progress is now being made with the " Aves " of the 

 * Biologia Centrali-Americana,' and three more portions have 

 been issued since our last notice (Ibis, 1901, p. 501). In 

 these the Accipitres are finished, and the succeeding Orders 

 Steganopodes and Herodiones are treated. 



12. Goeldi on the Birds of Amazonia. 



[Album de Avea Amazonicas organisado pelo Dr. Emilio A, Goeldi, 

 Director do Museu Paraense e publicado por ordem de S. Exc* O. Snr. 

 Dr. Jost? Paes de Carvalho, Governador do Estado do Para. Supple- 

 mento illustrativo a obra ' Aves do Brazil ' perlo Dr. Emilio A. Goeldi. 

 Fasc. I. 4to. Zurich, 1900.] 



Our ever active friend Dr. Goeldi is issuing a supplement 

 to his 'Aves do Brazil' (see Ibis, 1901, p. 501), containing a 

 series of coloured figures of the more prominent Amazonian 

 birds ; of this the first part is now before us. It contains 

 twelve plates, painted in colours, which give representations 

 of groups of species of the different families that frequent the 

 mighty river and its vicinity. The figures are mostly well 

 drawn and are coloured with quite suflficient accuracy to 

 render the species recognisable. We have no doubt that 

 Dr. Goeldi's work will do much to promote the study of our 

 favourite science in South America.
