key.' Following 'General Hints' designed to aid in placing the birds 

 under observation in the proper group, a brief description of each of the 

 145 species treated is given, with the names of other species with which 

 it might be confused. There is a 'Table of Occurrence' giving the 

 number of mornings out of the 454, during the years from J.898 to 1903 

 inclusive, when each was recorded. A 'Table of Arrival,' arranged 

 systematically by families shows at a glance the yearj month, and day 

 of the first appearance of each species. A chapter of 'General Hints' 

 upon the water and shore birds, where the larger groups are given, is 

 followed by 'Particular Hints' upon each of the water birds given. A 

 'Migration Chart,' 'Key,' 'Glossary' and 'Supplemental List,' with the 

 index, complete this closely packed little book of 66 pages. Inside the 

 back cover there is a large checked blank for recording the migrations 

 of the sjiecies given in the book, with additional spaces for other birds. 

 This little book cannot fail to be of great service to those who, living in 

 large cities, would know the birds which may be found in the parks.

Gleanings No. III. The Haunts of the Golden- winged Warbler. 

 By J. Warren Jacobs. Published by the author. 



This thirty page brochure contains an admirable account of the 

 summer haunts of the Golden-winged Warbler in the region of Waynes- 

 burg, Pa., from studies carried on every summer since 1891. The 

 whole subject of nesting is interspersed with interesting descriptions of 

 the region and with unusually good half-tones of both the region and 

 the nesting places and nests. A color chart prepared by hand, and 

 half-tone of a series of eggs close the work, with descriptions of sets of 

 eggs. Mr. Jacobs is to be congratulated upon this close study of a 

 little known warbler, and its clear presentation in interesting form.

The Metallic Colors of Feathers from the Sides of the Neck of the 

 Domestic Pigeon. By R. M. Strong, Reprinted from the Mark Anni- 

 versity Volume, Article XIII, pp. 263-277, plate XX, 1903. 



This important contribution is the result of long continued careful 

 study of the phenomena of metallic color reflections, chiefly from the 

 neck of the domestic jjigeon. Dr. Strong seems to have well nigh ex- 

 hausted the lines of investigation and concludes that 'The metallic 

 •colors of these feathers Jare probably thin-plate interference colors or
