P. rutila ; but we think this proposal is objectionable, as 

 the exact type of llliger's Cuculus rutilus cannot be certainly 

 ascertained. 



106. Todd on a new Wood- Warbler from the Bahamas. 



[A new Warbler from the Bahama Islands. By W. E. Clyde Todd. 

 Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, xxii. p. 171 (1909).] 



Mr. Todd describes a new Dendroeca from Abaco, Bahamas, 

 which he proposes to name D. flavescens. It is most nearly 

 allied to D. dominica, but distinguished by its longer bill 

 and wholly yellow under parts. 



107. Winge's Report on the Birds of the Danish Light- 

 houses. 



[Fuglene ved de danske Fyr i 1908. 26de Aarsberetning om danske 

 Fugle. Ved Herluf Winge. Ssertr. af Vidensk. Meddel. Kbhvn. 

 1909.] 



We are favoured by a copy of Dr. Wingers report on the 

 birds obtained or observed at the Danish Lighthouses in 

 1908, being the 26th of this excellent series. In that year 

 1453 specimens of 73 species were forwarded to the 

 Zoological ]\Tuseum of Copenhagen from 38 Lighthouses, 

 and other examples, making up the number to at least 

 2700, were noticed. The species most numerously met with 

 in 1908 were Alauda arvensis, Sturnus vulgaris, Regulus 

 cristatus, Turdus iliacus, T. musicus, and Erithacus rubecula. 

 Of the last-named species, 188 examples were sent in, and 

 at least 247 besides were taken. 



Unusual visitors to Denmark in 1908 were Alauda cristata 

 (March), Pastor roseus (May), Parus cristatus (July), Ruti- 

 cilla tithys (Oct.), and Muscicapa parva (June). Many- 

 other interesting field-notes are given. 



We venture to suggest to the Migration-Committee of 

 the B. O. C. that similar lists of the birds captured at 

 St. Catherine's or some of the other British Lighthouses 

 would be useful for comparison.
