Rothschild, W. and Hartert, E. The Birds of the Admiralty Islands, 

 north of German New Guinea. (Novitates Zoologicse XXI.) — The col- 

 lection here reported upon is the second ever obtained from these islands, 

 and the interior of Manus, the largest island, still remains to be explored. 

 The list contains 46 species of which the following, all from Manus, are 

 described as new: Phlegoenas beccarii admiralitatis (p. 287); Cacomantis 

 bland us (p. 290); Tyto manusi (p. 291); Collocalia esculenia stresemanni 

 (p. 293) and Pachycephala pectoralis goodsoni (p. 296). Incidentally the 

 name Accipiter hiogaster rooki (p. 288), is proposed for the Rook Island form 

 of this hawk. 



Gurney, J. H. Are Gannets Destructive Birds? (Irish Naturalist, 

 XXIII, No. 10.) — The verdict is in the negative as it is not considered that 

 the amount of fish they catch has any appreciable effect upon the supply 

 for human consumption. The annual market catch of herring alone in 

 Scotland amounts to about a billion and a half!
