on tlie birds of Lake Buvford in New Mexico. Mr. G. D. 

 Hauna, who has spent six summers and four winters on tlie 

 Pribilof Islands in Beliring Sea, has added a good many 

 species to the list of birds occurring there, including four 

 species new to the North American list — the Falcated Teal 

 {Eunetta falcatn), the Sea-l*^agle [T/ialassoaetns jtchu/icns)^ 

 a Wader {Heteroscelus brevipes), and a Pipit {^Antlius spino-

The frontispiece of the volume is a fine portrait of the 

 late William Brewster, whose memory is honoured in a 

 sympathetic appreciation by Mr. H. W. Henshaw. There 

 is also a long notice, with a portrait, of Lyman Belding the 

 Nestor of Californian ornithologists, who died in 1917 at

El Hornero. 



[El Ilornero. Revista de la Sociedad Ornitologica del Plnta. Vol. i. 

 1917-1919.] 



The first volume of 'El Hornero,' consisting of four 

 parts, is now com})lete, and we must congratulate the 

 editor. Dr. B. Dabbene, and his contributors on the success

Dr. Dabbene himself has an article running through 

 three numbers on the Laridse of Argentina, in which all 

 the species are listed, with distribution and keys for the 

 determination of the species, and useful outline sketches 

 of bills, wings, and feet. 



Sefior L. Dinelli has some field-notes on the niditication 

 of birds collected by him in the north-west of Argentina 

 some years ago, which were worked out by Dr. Hartert and 

 Senor Yeniuri in the ' Novitates Zoologicse' in 1909. 



In an article on "The fantastic ornithology of the 

 Conquestadorcs," Senor Carduso recalls the observations 

 and records of the earlier explorers from Magallanes in 

 1520 onwards, and reproduces some of their quaint
