 conchology. Amongst the rarer birds mentioned as obtained 

 by Heischek are Pogonornis cincta, now supposed to be 

 extinct (10 specimens), and the lately described Miro 

 dannefaerdi, from the Snares Islands. A coloured plate 

 contains figures of P seudogerygone sylvestris and of the 

 heads of two species of Bowdleria and of two species of 

 Anthus.

The authors now give us a more complete account of the 

 interesting collection of birds made by Mr. Bury in Hadra- 

 maut, Southern Arabia, already described in the 'Journal 

 fur Ornithologic ' for 1901 (pp. 231-245)* and add the 

 field-notes of the Collector, as also an account of another 

 collection made by Frau Dr. W. Hein in the district of 

 Gischin, which contains 44 skins referable to 12 species. 



Altogether the list contains the names of 62 species, three 

 of which {Fringillaria arabica, Zosterops arabs, and Nectarinia 

 muelleri) are figured in the accompanying plate. The 

 occurrence of an example of Tardus atrignlaris at Yeshbum 

 (4.1.00) is remarkable.

 volume on the birds of Hungary, which is no*v complete.

The materials for the book are mainly taken from the 

 great collection of Hungarian birds in the National Museum 

 at Budapest (under the author's charge), which contains
