In an otherwise interesting number of this pu1)lication we 

 find only two short ones dealing with ornithological subjects, 

 viz., " The Flight of the Marabou Stork," by F. J. Jackson 

 (in which he tells us that the Marabou holds its legs out 

 behind and folds up the neck like an Heron, with this 

 diffei'ence, that whereas the latter carries bill ;iiid legs 

 horizontally those of the Marabou are depressed and pointing 

 slightly downwards). Mr. Woosnam gives new localities for 

 Hubbard's Francolin.
