account of the Ploceidae, Fringillid;e, Motacillidae, Alaudidae, 

 and Pycnonotidae — altogether making about 490 species. We 

 are glad to observe that though subspecies are recognised, 

 they are not included in the numbering of the species, winch 

 already amount to 1786. The following species are figured 

 in four plates : — Glaucidium castaneum, Pisorhina badia. 

 Erythropygia hartlaubi, E. vulpecula, Tarsiger orient alls, 

 T. guttatus, Alethe poliothorax, Bradypterus castaneus, An- 

 dropadus montanus, Bleda poliocephala, and Phyllostrephus 

 chlorigula. 



54. Reichenow on the Birds of the German Deep-sea 

 Expedition. 



[Uebersicht der auf der deutschen Tiefsee Expedition gesamraelten 

 Vogel. Von Anton Reichenow. L904. (Two coloured plates.)] 



The seventh volume of the series of reports on the scientific 

 results of the voyage of the German Deep-sea Expedition 

 under Prof. Chun contains an account of the birds obtained, 

 drawn up by Dr. Reichenow. In all 71 species are 

 enumerated, most of which are, as might be expected, 

 marine. Three new " conspecies " are characterised — Corvus 

 splendens maledivicus from the Maldives, Buchanga stigmatops 

 phaedra from Sumatra, and Butorides javanicus albo-limbatns 

 from Diego Garcia. 



Charadrius rufocinctus from S.E. Africa and Homopelia 

 picturata chuni from Diego Garcia, both already described 

 by Dr. Reichenow (Orn. Monatsb. viii. p. 123, 1900), are 

 now figured. The typical H. picturata is figured in company 

 with the latter. 



In relation to this voyage, Prof. Van Hoffen's article in 

 the ' Journal f. Ornithologie ' for 1901 should be consulted.
