Mr. Scott describes, as Ibycter circumcinctus, an appa- 

 rently new Carrion-Hawk. The type specimen, now in the 

 Princeton University Museum, was obtained in the territory 

 of Chubut, Patagonia, in February 1896.

In 1895 (see 'Ibis,' 1895, p. 130) we gave a notice of the 

 issue of the first part of Mr. W. E. D. Scott's work on the 

 ' Birds of Patagonia ' and an account of its origin and pro- 

 posed scope. The further progress of this work has been 

 retarded — mainly, we believe, by Mr. Scott's uncertain 

 health ; but the second portion is now before us, and the 

 conclusion, we are told, will not be long delayed. 



The present instalment contains an account of the Pata- 

 gonian Petrels and other families (according to Sharpe's 

 arrangement) up to the Charadriidse. It will be observed 

 that in many cases we are told that the Princeton 

 Expeditions did "not procure" specimens of the species 

 referred to, but that the descriptions and figures have been 

 based upon the series in the Natural History Museum, 

 South Kensington, where the author worked for some 

 months and received valuable assistance from the late 

 Dr. Sharpe.
