African birds, by Mr. Alwin Haagner, the Secretary of tlie 

 Union : Ueliolais kirhyi, near to H. erytliroptera ; and Antho- 

 scopus robertsi, a well-marked new Penduline Tit, whose 

 nearest ally is A. caroli of Sharpe. It contains further a 

 revision of that difficult genus of Grass Warblers known as 

 Cisticola, by the same ornithologist. Mr. Haagner's new 

 key to the known South African species will be of value to 

 the working ornithologist, as some confusion has hitherto 

 existed concernine; the members of this genus.
