15. Meyer and Helm's Reports on the Birds of Saxony. 



[VII.-X. Jahresbericlit (1891-94) der ornithologischen Beobachtung- 

 stationen im Konigreiche Sachsen, beai'beitet von A. B. Meyer und 

 F. Helm. Nebst eineui Anhange : Die sonstige Landesfauna befcrefFende 

 Beobacbtimgen. 4to. Berlin : Friedlander, 1896.] 



This valuable series of Reports was last noticed in 1893 

 (Ibis^ 1893^ p. 141). Four more years, 1891-94^ are now 

 issued in one memoir, arranged as before. Four more 

 species are now added to the Saxonian avifauna — JSgialitis 

 hiaticula, Calidris arenaria, Larus fuscus, n.xi^ Sterna anglica. 

 Two others, previously uncertain, are confirmed — Aquila 

 clanga and Buteo desertorum. There are therefore now 280 

 species in the Saxonian list against 357 in Homeyer's List 

 of German Birds.

 crepitans lateralis, subsp. nov,, is a form of P. crepitans 

 from N.E. Queensland. Calamanthus fuliginosus and Em- 

 blema pictmn have been found in New South Wales. Me-

 Upper Clarence and its nest and egg obtained — it lays only 

 one.
