16. Kollibay on the Birds of the Bocche di Cattaro. 



[Die Vogelfauna der Bocche di Cattaro. Yon Paul Kollibay. Journ. 

 f. Orn. 1904, p. 457.] 



We have now received a separate copy of the second and 

 concluding portion of this excellent memoir, the first part 

 of which we have already noticed ('Ibis/ 1904, p. 651). It 

 contains a series of field-notes on the birds of this attractive 

 spot, altogether 223 in number, taken from the observa- 

 tions of the author and his fellow- workers in the same 

 district. 



The country is rich in Buntings, no less than seven being 

 included in the List, of which the brilliant Embei'iza melano- 

 cephala is of special interest. It arrives from the south in 

 May, and nests in June. Herr Kollibay puts its simple 

 song into musical notes. 



Altogether the Bocche di Cattaro must be a delightful 

 place for an ornithological excursion. 



17. Meyer on Birds from South-east Celebes. 



[Vogel von Siidost Celebes. Von A. B. Meyer. Notes Leyden Mus. 

 xxiv. pp. 232-235.] 



Dr. Meyer catalogues thirteen species of birds of which 

 examples were obtained by the brothers Sarasiu during their 

 recent expedition across the south-eastern arm of* Celebes. 

 One of these species, Zosterops consobrinorum , is described 

 as new to science. 



18. North on the Nests and Eggs of Australian Birds. 



[Nests and Eggs of Birds found breeding in Australia and Tasmania. 

 By Alfred J. North. Part IV. Sydney, 1904.] 



Mr. North continues his attractive work on the nests and 

 eggs of Australian birds, to which we have called special 

 attention on former occasions (see ' Ibis/ 1902, pp. 156, 660, 

 and 1903, p. 6.22). In this part he proceeds with his account 

 of the Passerines of various groups, and, besides illustrations 

 in the text, gives us large and beautifully drawn plates of the 

 nests of Malurus melanocephalus, Acanthiza pusilla, Orygma 

 rubricatum, and Pomatostomus temporalis, with three of eggs. 

 The notes on nesting arc very full and complete.
