ill the ruuyli roj)y of one letter, of which a pliotograpliic 

 representation is given, is almost illegible. 



As might be expected of so learned a man, Browne liad a 

 fair acquaintance with the literature of his subject. Among 

 ornithological authors, Turner, Gesner, lielon, and Aldro- 

 A'andus are all cited, as well as Clusins ; but the book he 

 knew best was the compilation of the Sc-oto-Pole Jonston, 

 which hegan to appear in 1650, and in the course of a few 

 years saw several erlitions. Mr. Southwell has heen most 

 diligent in verifying these references, and his admirably 

 judicious notes, voluminous as in places they may seem, 

 cannot be said to contain a word too much, for all are to the 

 joint. We venture to predict that this little book, of Avhicli 

 we understand that the number of copies printed is but 

 small, will be eagerly sought for, and that before long.

100. Witherbi/s Bird-hunting on the White Nile. 



[' Bird-hunting on the White Nile.' A Naturalist's Experiences in the 

 Soudan. By Harry W. Witherbj. 8vo. London, 1902. ' Knowledge ' 

 Oflice. 117 pp. Price 2.<!. Gc?.] 



This little book is a reprint (with additions and corrections) 

 of Mr. Witherby's popular account of his experiences on 

 the White Nile in the spring of 1900. It is nicely illustrated 

 from photographs, and is well worthy of perusal, particularly 

 by those who contemplate similar expeditions. A list of the 

 birds met with is given in an ap])endix. AVe need hardly 

 remind our readers that Mr. Witherby's scientific account 

 of the collection made on the White Nile was published in 

 this Journal in 1901.
