135 in number. Then follows, as a sort of supplement or third part, de- 

 scriptions of a new species of hummingbird (Thalurania belli), a new hawk 

 (Buteo latissimus rivieri), and a new subspecies of the American Redstart 

 (Setophaga ruticilla tropica). The hummingbird is said to be restricted 

 "to the higher mountains of Dominica at an elevation of more than 2000 

 feet above the sea," where it is locally distributed and haunts " the deep- 

 est and dampest portions of the mountain bush." The redstart is a resi- 

 dent form of the North American bird, from which it is said to differ in 

 brighter colors, smaller size, and different notes and eggs. — J. A. A. 



McAtee's Birds of the Vicinity of the University of Indiana. 1 — 

 This list of 225 species, based in part on the author's observations 

 covering four years, but mainly upon the unpublished observations of 

 previous observers, which include "twenty sets of migration records, 

 covering fourteen seasons, which are on file in the archives of the Biolog- 

 ical Survey at Washington, D. C. " Three previously published lists have 

 also been utilized. The area is comprised within a five-mile radius from 

 the campus of the Indiana University, at Bloomington, Indiana. The 

 observations are detailed, and in the case of the commoner species, the 

 remarks on relative abundance and seasons of occurrence are followed 

 by tabular statements of 'migration records,' covering generally a period 

 of three to twelve years. At the close of the list the general facts of oc- 

 currence are presented in tabular form, for convenience of reference, and 

 the tabular matter is followed by an index of the vernacular names of 

 the species enumerated in the list. Six species, formerly common, are 

 recorded as extinct, namely, Prairie Hen, Wild Turkey, Passenger Pigeon, 

 Paroquet, Ivory-billed Woodpecker, and American Raven. — J. A. A. 



Contributions to Avian Anatomy. — A paper by Margaret E. Mar-, 

 shall 2 treats of the anatomy (excluding osteology) of Phalamoptilus nuttalli 

 nitidus, and "is intended to be the first of a series" dealing with the anat- 

 omy of the Caprimulgidse. The paper is descriptive, and is illustrated 

 with three plates. The work was done under the direction of Dr. Thos. 

 H. Montgomery, Jr., and forms No. 68 of 'Contributions from the Zoolog- 

 ical Laboratory of the University of Texas.' Work of this character is 

 much needed, and should receive hearty welcome.
