The work consists of two fasciculi, separately full-titled and probably 

 issued apart; and the title of Fascicvlvs Secvndvs is literally different 

 from that of Fascicvlvs Primvs. But both bear the same date, 1786, and 

 are bound as one volume in the copy examined in the library of the 

 Zoological Society. The pagination and numeration of the plates are con- 

 tinuous; so that it is not necessary to cite the work by fasciculi. The 

 first 20 pages and 6 plates belong in Fasc. I., the rest in Fasc. II. — Elliott 

 Coues, Washington, D. C. 



Mandt's Inaugural Dissertation. — This is a scarce tract, which I have 

 never seen cited in full, and which is seldom so cited as to give any satis- 

 factory idea of what it may be. The following is the title :

 in I itinere Groenlandico | factae. | — | Dissertatio | In auguralis | quam 

 I consensu et auctoritate | gratiosi medicorum ordinis | in | Universitate

 pp. 1-40. 



A list of birds occupies pp. 3, 4 ; and on p. 30 is described Uria mandlii, 

 Licht., sp. n. — Elliott Coues, Washington, D. C. 



Correction. — In the Auk, Vol. XIII, No. 2, for April, page 176, under 

 'Abnormal Plumage in a Pine Grosbeak,' "its width having decreased .20 

 of an inch " should read " its width having decreased to .20 of an inch." 

 On page 178, the paragraph on the Winter Wren, under 'Three Winter 

 Notes from Longwood, Massachusetts,' "and on the 25th shot, I think, 

 the same bird " should read " and on the 25th of December shot, I think 

 the same bird." — Reginald Heber Howe, Jr., Longzvood, Mass.
