well studied. Tlie last-named bird varies, so that we may 

 admit three subspecies ; it is in the Watliiig paintings^ aud 

 the name rohustus supersedes nientalis, that name being used 

 subspecifically. G. affinis is possibly a synonym [p. 131]. 

 Paragraucalus lineatus is correct, as Gould couhl not, under 

 the present rules, have changed the name to swainsonii. Two 

 subspecies are recognized. The case is almost the same 

 with Metagraucalus teiiuirostris, which Rvippell renamed 

 jardinii, but here there are three subspecies. Lalagc is begun 

 in this part, and on the first page Monarcha is concluded, a 

 special point being that caiiescoisof Salvador! is reduced to a 

 subspecies o( melanopsis. M. kursudiis, altogether dropped.

[On a collection of Birds from West-Central and North- Western 

 Yunnan. By Lord Rothschild, F.R.S., Ph.D. Nov. Zool. Tring, xxviii. 

 1921, pp. 14-67.] 



In this paper Lord Rothschild enumerates and describes 

 a collection of 279 species and subspecies of birds collected 

 by Mr. George Forrest in the mountains of Yunnan. 

 Mr. Forrest is a well-known botanical collector, aud the 

 birds were a parergon to his main task. Colonel Stephenson
