In the January number Mrs. F. M. Bailey records her 

 experiences of the breeding of Icterus nelso?ii, the Palm- 

 leaf Oriole, and gives three pretty figures of the nest ; and 

 in April Dr. Townsend writes on the courtships of the 

 Golden-Eye and Eider Ducks, while Mr. R. F. Miller notes 

 an increase of the Florida Gallinule near Philadelphia. In 

 July Mr. H. W. Henshaw furnishes an article, which will 

 interest students of the subject, on the " Migration of the 

 Pacific Plover {Charadrius duminicus fulvus) to and from the 

 Hawaiian Islands/' which is followed by a second on the 

 " Migration of the Canada Goose in Eastern Massachusetts," 

 by Mr. J. C. Phillips. Mrs. C. J. Stanwood also writes on 

 the Black-throated Green Warbler aud its nesting-habits 

 (2 pis.) ; Mr. W. F. Henninger on Henslow's Sparrow in 

 Ohio (pi.) ; and Mr. W. Brewster answers Dr. Dwight on the 

 " Resurrection of the Red-legged Black Duck." 



Mr. R. Ridgway's remarks " Concerning Three erroneous 

 Georgia Records" (p. 88) should also be noted by students of 

 American ornithology in particular.

In these numbers we have an illustrated account of the 

 Crystal Palace Bird Show of the year by Messrs. A. Silver 

 (British Birds), D. Seth-Smith (Parrots), and F. Finn (other 

 foreign birds); Mr. Seth-Smith also continues the story 

 of his travels in Australia (Sydney and Brisbane), and Mr. 

 Finn writes on Col/us erythromelon and on two species of 

 Ccereba (C. ccerulea and C. cyanea) (col. pis.), while he gives 

 further instalments of his " Stray Notes on Indian Birds." 

 Col. Momber sketches the migration of British Birds through 

 Italy, and gives us a tabular list with the addition of occa- 

 sional remarks. An interesting paper by Dr. Butler discusses 

 the duration of the life of captive birds, and this has induced 

 Mr. Bonhote to write at length on the same subject, and to 

 supply notes on the breeding and management of various 

 species (2 pis.). Mr. H. D. Astley and Mr. Finn furnish
