of the Heronries of '* Tweed," while the writer does not 

 distinguish accidental cases of the breeding of a single pair 

 from a Heronry proper. 



In the January number we find three consecutive ornitho- 

 logical papers. Mr. Eagle Clarke reports the occurrence 

 of Phylloscopus borealis at Fair Isle, the first record for 

 Britain, and the second for Western Europe ; the Duchess 

 of Bedford writes a couple of pages of Bird Notes from 

 the Outer Hebrides, with notices of Muscicapa parva and 

 Ruticilla titys; and Miss E. Baxter continues her useful 

 records from the Isle of May, and gives details of her 

 observations and those of Mr. Maccuish in 1908. Blue- 

 throats, Yellow-browed Warblers, Pied Flycatchers, Bram- 

 blings, one Scarlet Grosbeak, and one Wryneck appear to be 

 the most notable of the species met with. 



In the Zoological Notes we wish to draw special attention 

 to the correction of a statement as to the Lesser Whitethroat 

 nesting in the " Tay " area, and to the records of the Blue- 

 headed Wagtail, Hawfinch, and Gadwall. 



26. 'Aquila/ 1905-1907^ (vols, xii.-xiv.). 



[Aquila : Zeitsclirift fiir Ornithologie. Redact. Otto Herman. Tom. 

 xii.-xiv. Budapest, 1905-7.] 



* Aquila,' as we all know, is the scientific organ of the 

 '' Ofiicium Hungaricum Ornithologicum,^' and the yearly 

 volume is issued at Budapest with unfailing regularity. 

 We have now before us those for three years — namely, 

 1905, 1906, 1907. The Journal is naturally for the most 

 part devoted to matters pertaining to the Birds of the 

 Kingdom of Hungary; but it should be carefully studied 

 by all who are interested in the Ornithology of the 

 Western Palsearctic Region, as it contains a mass of infor- 

 mation about species little known in the minute fragment 

 of Europe which we inhabit. Bird-migration in Hungary is 

 specially studied by a host of observers, and reports on this 

 subject will be found in every volume of ' Aquila.' In that
