A 'Supplement' to the 'Birds of New Zealand' is announced, to form 

 two quarto volumes, with twelve hand-colored plates (by Keulemans) and 

 numerous text illustrations. The subscription price is three guineas per 

 volume, and the edition will be limited to 500 copies. During the seven- 

 teen years that have passed since the publication of the second edition, 

 quite a number of species have been added to the bird fauna of New Zea- 

 land, and much new information respecting those previously known, and 

 in place of issuing a third edition the author, Sir Walter L. Buller, has 

 decided to issue two supplemental volumes, in the same style as the 

 original work. Subscriptions are to be addressed: "To the Publisher of 

 the Supplement to the 'Birds of New Zealand,' 62 London Wall, London, 

 E. C." 



We have received also the prospectus of a work entitled ' The Eggs 

 of European Birds,' by the Rev. Francis C. R. Jourdain, to be published 

 in ten parts, octavo size, each to contain twelve or more colored plates. 

 The price is 10 shillings per part, and subscriptions may be sent to the 

 Author, Clifton Vicarage, Ashburne, Derbyshire, or to Mr. R. H. Porter,
