Galerida cristata riggenbachi (from Mazagan) ; while a new 

 genus (Diplooticus) is proposed for Ruticilla moussieri, which, 

 however, in our opinion is quite unnecessary, though the 

 biid certainly has somewhat of the habits of a Pratincola. 



17. Hartert on the Birds of the Kangean Islands. 



[The Birds of the Kangean Islands. By Ernst Hartert. Nov. Zool. 

 ix. p. 419.] 



The Kangean Islands lie north of Bali and due east of 

 Madura in the Java Sea. Dr. Vorderman is the only 

 naturalist who has visited them (see Nat. Tijdschr. v. Ned. 

 Iud. lii. 1893). Mr. Prillwitz has now sent a collection to 

 the Tring Museum, upon which the present paper is based. 

 It enumerates 78 species, the majority of which are naturally 

 of Javan origin. Dicrurus suluensis from Sulu and D. 

 dohertyi from Obi Major are described as new 7 , and Mixornis 

 jirillwitzi, M. everetti, and M. fiaoicollis are figured on 

 plate xiii.

[A Glossary of Popular, Local, and Old-fashioned Names of British 

 Birds. By Chas. Louis Hett. 12mo. London: Sotheran & Co., 1902.

This compilation will be found of considerable use to those 

 who work at British Birds, as the glossary seems fairly 

 exhaustive, while the List of the British Ornithologists'' 

 Union is reprinted in addition.

 London, 1902. Hutchinson & Co.] 



Sir Harry Johnston's Monograph of Uganda is, of course, 

 not a "bird-book" in the ordinary sense of the term ; but
