99. North on a new Australian Honey-eater. 



[Description of a new Genus and Species of Honey-eater from Western 

 Australia. By Alfred J. North. Vict. Nat. xxvi. p. 138 (1910).] 



Under the name Lacustroica whitei Mr. North describes 

 a new genus and species of Honey-eater from Western 

 Australia. It is allied to Entomophila, but has a shorter 

 bill, longer tarsus, and a different wing-formula. It is a 

 small bird of dull colours. 



100. Penard on the Birds of Guiana. 



[De Vogels van Guyana (Suriname, Cayenne en Demerara), door 

 Frederik Paul Penard en Arthur Philip Penard. Tweede Deel. 

 Paramaribo, 1910. 8vo, 587 pp.] 



This is the second volume of the work on the birds of the 

 three Guianas (Dutch, French, and British), to which we 

 called our readers' attention on a previous occasion ( f Ibis,' 

 1909, p. 373). It is written in Dutch, the native language 

 of the authors, although we should have thought that, as we 

 have said before, English would have been better under- 

 stood by those whom the work is likely to interest. 



The present volume contains an account of the Picariae 

 and Passeres of the Guianas and concludes the work. The 

 numerous species of the Guianan Avifauna included in it are 

 mostly familiar, but there are a few names in the List that 

 are unknown to us, such as Hadrostomus atricapillus suri- 

 namensis, Attila surinamensis, Heteropelma surinamense, Todi- 

 rostrum surinamense, Formicarius tamiesoni, and Lamprospiza 

 charmesi. Specimens of these supposed new species require 

 careful examination before they can be admitted to a 

 permanent place in the South- American Ornis.
