The Summer Life of the Starling. By H. Fischer-Sigwart. 



Le Gerfaut. 5-9 Ann. Fasc. I, 1919. [In French.] 



This is the first issue since the German occupation of Belgium in Aug- 

 ust, 1914, as explained in a note to the readers, from which we also learn 

 that the treasurer of the Belgian Ornithological Society was murdered 

 by the Germans at Louvain while the secretary fell on the field of battle 

 at Voltin. The publication, however, starts out again with renewed 

 energy and four issues appeared in 1919.
