edition of liis ' London Birds/ of which we formerly noticed 

 the first issue (Ibis, 1893, p. 270). A pretty drawing by 

 Mr. Thorbnrn of the " Cormorants' Rock " in St. James's 

 Park forms an appropriate frontispiece to the present edition, 

 and there are six other illustrations of bird-life. Several 

 new chapters are added. 



30. Reichenoiv's ' Birds of Africa.' 



[Die Vogel Afrikas von Ant. Reichenow. Zweiter Band, Erste Ilalfte. 

 4to. Neudamm, 1902. Pp. 384. Price 50s.] 



The first half of the second volume of Dr. Rcichenow's 

 important work ' Die Vogel Afrikas ; (cf Ibis, 1901, pp. 1 12, 

 732) was issued in August last. It commences with the 

 Psittacidse, after which follow the Musophagiche, Cuculidne, 

 and other Picarians in order up to the Cypselidse, which 

 arc not quite finished. Altogether about 370 species are 

 treated in the present half-volume. A few subspecies are 

 introduced, not numbered as species, but designated a, 

 h, c, &C. 



Attached to this half-volume is an Atlas with three maps, 

 and an alphabetical list of the localities designated in them, 

 together with references to the -places where they are to be 

 found in the maps, and the names of the collectors who visited 

 them. All this will be a very useful addition to the work, 

 and, as we understand, will ultimately form a separate volume 

 along with the coloured plates. Of these plates, five are 

 given with the present part, representing Macronyxfuellcltorni, 

 M. aurantiigula } Picathartes oreas, P. gymnocephalus, Pen- 

 thetria psammocromia, Ptoceus rufo-niyer, Symplectes tephro- 

 notus, Turacus schuetti, T. emini, Podica senegalensis, and 

 P. camerunensis. 



The species of African birds registered so far in the work 

 are 929. We suppose that the Passercs still remaining will 

 amount to at least as many more.
