7. The Ilns : a Quarterly Journal of Ornithology. 

 The January number of the well-known B.O.U. Journal 

 oives us the following papers on African ornitholooy : — 



(1) " Field-Notes on the Birds of Southern Kamerun, West 



Africa." By G. L. Bates, C.M.Z.S. 



(2) " Contributions to the Ornithology of the Soudan. — 

 No. III. On Birds collected by Capt. E. P. Blencoue 

 in the Bahr-el-Ghazal Province." Bv A. L. Butler, 

 F.Z.S. 



(3) " On the Birds of Bulawayo, South Rhodesia." By E. 0. 

 Chubb, Acting Curator, Rhodesia Museum. 



The last is a more or less complete list of birds found in 

 the neighbourhood of the capital of South Rhodesia, with 

 field-notes. He records the species (mostly southern forms) 

 as new to Southern Rhodesia. Mr. Chubb has followed the 

 old error in calling one of the Grass Warblers fulvicapilla 

 (see also my paper in the 2nd No. Vol. I. of the Journal 

 S.A.O.U.), whereas I have recently shown that the northern 

 form is quite distinct from the true fulvicapilla, the latter 

 only inhabiting Cape Colony and possibly Natal. The 

 northern form must now be known as cinnamomeiceps, 

 Haagner. [See "A Revision of the South African Species 

 of Cis'icola (Grass Warblers)," by A. Haagner, Annals Tvl, 

 Museum, August 1909.] With regard to the note on Centropus 

 senegalen.4s, we would draw Mr. C-hubb's attention to a paper 

 on the South African species of Centropus by Dr. Gunning 

 and A. Haagner in the 1st No. Vol. IV. of this Journal.
