Altogether about 170 species are enumerated in the 

 present memoir, and the dates and localities of every specimen 

 are exactly set forth, with critical notes when required. The 

 greater number of the birds are old friends, but two species 

 and six subspecies are described as new — namely, Clytoceyx 

 rex imperator, Arses telescophthalmus harterti, Sericornis 

 arfakiana nouhuysi, Malurus lorentzi, Pitohni (scr. Rhectes) 

 aruensis nigropectus, Pitohui incertus, Ptilotis erythropleura 

 lorenzi, and Entomyza cyanotis griseigularis. The prizes of 

 the collection are two adult males of Xanthome lus ardens, of 

 which only the imperfect typical specimen, now at Genoa, 

 was previously known. This gorgeous bird is now well 

 figured (Plate iii, p. 100). A text-figure (p. 105) represents 

 the extremely remarkable convolutions of the trachea in 

 Manucodia atra and Phony gama keraudreni.

The Zoological Society of London, always in the front 

 when good scientific work is to be done, has, as has been 

 already announced, undertaken the publication of the 

 zoological results of the Ruwenzori Expedition of 1905-1906, 

 and has appropriated the nineteenth volume of their quarto 

 Transactions to this purpose. In accordance with the 

 traditions of the Society there can be no doubt that this task 

 will be thoroughly well performed, nor will there be any 

 delay in its execution, as the first Part of the work is now 

 before us. 



After a short preface by Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, who, 

 as we all know, was not only the originator and organizer 

 of this successful enterprise, but also raised, among his 

 many friends, the funds required for its accomplishment, we 

 find an excellent and well-written " Itinerary " of the
