discussing the views of various autlioritics he concludes by 

 agreeing with the majority in considering the Flamingos to 

 form an independent group or Suborder, corresponding to 

 Huxley^s Amphimorphae, standing between the Atiseres and 

 the Herodiones. Among the Anseres, they come nearest to 

 certain Geese ; while they have borrowed characters from a

 and Tantalus, though they do not approximate close!}' to 

 such genera as Ardea. The six plates represent various

97, Silloway on the Birds of Flathead Lake. 



[Siuiniicr Birds of Flathead Lake. By P. M. Siiloway. J'liU. T'niv. 

 Montana, no. 1, pp. 1-83, pis. i.-xvi.] 



Mr. Silloway's observations Avere chiefly made from 

 June 14th to August 30th, 1900, but were supplemented by 

 others made in 1901. They comprise a list, admittedly not

 of which all but eight probably breed in the district. 

 Fourteen plates of nests and eggs are added, with two views 

 of the surroundings of the Biological Station. The neigh- 

 bouring country is admirably suited to bird-life, with its 

 mountains, woods, bushy and marshy areas, and open pi'airics.

In choosing a title for this nice little book, Mr. Southwell 

 hardly does justice to its contents, for though, as was natural. 

 Sir Thomas Browne's Notes and Letters chiefly concern the 

 county of his adoption and abode, many of them have a very 

 general bearing, and will be read with as much interest by any
