RECENT LITERATURE. 



Nests and Eggs of the Birds of Ohio.— Part XX of this magnificent 

 work, dated April, 1SS5, contains plates lviii-lx. The first is a beautiful one 

 of the nest of the Wood Thrush, the others give forty-one figures of the 

 eggs of various species, without the nests. A notice accompanying states 

 that three more parts, or twenty-three in all, will complete the work, which it 

 is expected will he finished hv next January, the remaining plates being 

 nearly all done. The whole volume will then contain 69 plates, figuring 

 about the same number of nests, the eggs of 127 species, with some 400pages

 produced of that character, excepting Mr. D. G. Elliot's. — E. C.
