ten male and female examples of the Yellow-browed Warbler, 

 three Shore Larks, two Little Buntings, a Barred Warbler, 

 a Scarlet Grosbeak, and a Red-breasted Flycatcher. They 

 consider that they obtained very good results on the whole, 

 though birds were somewhat scarce. 



In both October aud January Mr. Eagle Clarke contributes 

 articles on the recent remarkable immigration of Crossbills 

 to Britain, which are of much interest : in October we have 

 a notice of Sabine's Gull from Shetland, in January records 

 of two forms of Redpoll, the Northern Bullfinch and Teng- 

 malm's Owl from the same islands, and also of two Yellow- 

 browed Warblers from East Ross-shire, these being the first 

 known to have occurred on the Scottish mainland. 



30. 'Avicultural Magazine? 



[Avicultural Magazine. Series iii. Vol. i. Nos. 1-4. November 1909- 

 February 1910.] 



This magazine continues to flourish under its new editor 

 Mr. Frank Finn, and there seems to be no lack of contributors, 

 most of them well known to its readers. Taking the more 

 general articles in order, we have Mr. Seth Smith continuing 

 his reminiscences of his trip to Australia with an account 

 of the National Park in New South Wales, its Lyre-Birds, 

 Satin Bower-Birds and other uncommon species. The 

 Duchess of Bedford writes on the rare Cranes and other birds 

 nesting at Woburn, and notes that Pekin Robins and some 

 other species have bred in a wild state in the Park ; Col. 

 Momber discusses the morals of Birds, while Mr. Butler 

 follows with an article on the same subject ; and the former 

 also contributes a pleasant paper on the birds of the Riviera. 



As regards particular genera or species Mr. Astley discusses 

 Agapomis taranta (col. pi.) ; Mr. Denman describes the 

 displays of Rhino chetus jubatus (pi.) and different forms of 

 Hangnests. Mr. C. B. Smith sends notes on the habits of 

 Strepsilas interpres and Arboricola ; Dr. Butler writes on the 

 genus Nymphicus; Messrs. Silver and Scherren on the Dart- 

 ford Warbler; and Mr. Newman on Turtur decipiens. 



Of species bred in captivity we have Chalcopsittacus ater
