give room for. It is well printed and its arrangement is good. 

 Mr. John Lewis Childs, the editor, is to be congratulated upon the 

 change from the first series. L. J. 



With the first number of Volume VII., The Journal of the Maine 

 Ornithological Society makes larger claims for our attention, in a 

 new cover design, better paper, better print, and an increased 

 number of pages. We are pleased to note that the Maine orni- 

 thologists are making good progress in bringing the state bird 

 fauna upon a firm basis. It is inevitable that a state so old and 

 so much written about should have amassed a great deal of ques- 

 tionable authenticity, particularly among the earlier writers. It 

 is far more difficult to remove a species from a state list than to 

 place one upon it. L. J. 



It will be a source of pleasure to all bird lovers to know that Mr. 

 Frank Chapman is preparing a complete revision of his admirable 

 Handbook of the Birds of Eastern North America. It would have 

 been ready ere this but for the delay of the committee having in 

 charge another revision of the birds of North America. Changes 

 have been so rapid and so radical these last few years, that an 

 author always runs the risk of finding his work obsolete so far 

 as the nomenclature is concerned, almost before the ink is dry. 

 We hope for a fairly stable nomenclature. L. J.
