 Larut Hills in February and March 1898. The list includes 

 113 species, and gives appropriate field-notes as to exact 

 localities and habits. Three new species discovered during 

 this expedition {Cnjptolopha butler i, Serilophus rothschildi, 

 and Gecinus rodgeri) have been previously described at 

 Meetings of the B. O. C. Mr. Butler's collection is deposited

 By A. J. Campbell, F.L.S. (Austral. Assoc. Adv. Science, Session 1898.) 

 Sydney.] 



Mr. A. J. Campbell, who, as will be seen below, is 

 engaged in preparing an illustrated work on the nests and 

 eggs of the Birds of Australia, placed before the recent 

 meeting at Sydney of the Australasian Association for the 

 Advancement of Science a treatise on the nesting of the 

 Iloney-eaters — one of the most varied, numerous, and attrac- 

 tive families of the Australian ornis. It contains upwards

70. Clark on the Feather-tracts of the North-American 

 Gallinse. 



[The Feather-tracts of North-American Grouse and Quail. By Hubert 

 Lyman Clark, Ph.D. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxi. p. 641.] 



Dr. Clark has made a careful study of the pterylosis of the 

 Gallinaceous Birds of North America, and gives us the 

 results arrived at in this Avell-written memoir. Through the 

 kind assistance of his friends he has been able to examine 

 the feather-tracts in 18 species of these birds, representing 

 all the North- American genera. The Odontophorinse are well 

 distinguishable from the Tetraoninse as regards their ptery- 

 losis, as are also the 5 generally recognized genera of the 

 former and the 7 of the latter group from each other. Tlie
