 <# [Zur Herbatwanderung der nordischen Sumpfvogel iiber die Insel 

 Oland. Von Gustav Kolthoff. Festsbrift for Lilljeborg, pp. 123-136. 

 Upsala, 1890.] 



The author of this paper discusses the spring migration of 

 northern Marsh-birds, as observed at the south point of the 

 Island of Oland, which he finds to be a very good station, 

 since two lines of flight seem to converge towards the district. 

 After treating of the various species separately, he gives a 

 table of the observations from June to Octoher, with the 

 time of day at which the occurrences took place. There 

 were comparatively few in the first and last month.

This is the first part of an account of the valuable addition 

 made in 1891 to the Vienna Museum by the acquisition of 

 the collection of birds formed in New Zealand and the 

 adjacent islands by the late Andreas Reischek. Reischek 

 went out to New Zealand in 1877 as taxidermist to the 

 Christclmrch Museum, and subsequently made numerous 

 voyages and excursions to every part of New Zealand and 

 its islands. In 1889 he returned to Europe, and, after 

 depositing his ethnographical and zoological collections at 

 Vienna, retired to his native place, Linz, and became Custos 

 of the Upper Austrian Laud-Museum in that city. His 

 name and the observations made by him are of frequent 

 occurrence in Sir Walter Bullcr's works on the birds of 

 New Zealand, and he was the author of several papers on 

 birds in the ' Transactions of the New Zealand Institute/ 



The present portion of Dr. v. Lorenz's memoir contains an 

 account of about 50 species, extending from the Passeres to 

 the Pigeons, with exact dates and localities of the specimens 

 and many important remarks. Anthus novce-zealandice 

 reischeki, from the North Island, A. n.-z. chathamensis from 

 Chatham Island, and A. n.-z. steindachneri from Antipodes 

 Island, are separated as new subspecies. Nesiera.v is a new
