Recently published Ornithological Works. 021 



more than 5000 specimens of the birds of Hungary and of 

 the adjoining Crown lands of Croatia and Sclavonia. So 

 nearly perfect is this series that only 16 out of the 364 

 species of Hungarian birds fail to be represented in it, 

 and these are mostly unica of other museums or private 

 collections. 



In 1881 the author published his ' Systematische Auf- 

 zahlung der Vogel Ungarns,' in which 345 names were 

 included, some of them of doubtful species. The present 

 work, as already mentioned, gives us an account of 364 

 species belonging to the Hungarian Avifauna, of which 87 are 

 constant residents and 151 are known to breed in Hungary. 

 The winter-visitors are 24, the more or less regular passing 

 visitors 46, and the accidental visitors 46. The arrangement 

 and nomenclature used by Dr. Madaiasz follow generally 

 those of the British Museum Catalogue. Homonyms are 

 employed throughout. 



Amongst the rarer stragglers enumerated in the present 

 work we observe Linaria exilipes (Coues),L. brevirostris (Bp.) ., 

 Melanocorypha sihirica (Gm.), Budytes taivanus Swinhoe, 

 Ruticilla mesoleuca (Hempr. et Ehr.j, Buteo zimmermannce 

 Ehmcke, Anthropoides virgo, and Somateria mollissima. 



Phaoparus is proposed as a new subgeneric term for Parus 

 palustris and its allies, and the southern form of Glaucidivm 

 passerinum is named G. setipes. 



Besides numerous figures in the text there arc 9 plates, one 

 of which (by Keulemans) illustrates the somewhat problema- 

 tical Buteo zimmermannce.

[Vorlaufiges iiber einen neuen Rohrsanger (Lusciniola mimica). Von 

 Dr. Julius von Madarasz. Budapest, 190;i. 2 pp.] 



Dr. v. Madarasz's Lusciniola mimica will be an interesting 

 species to Pahearctic ornithologists, if future researches 

 should result in confirming its distinctness from L. melano- 

 poffon, of which it is stated to be the eastern representative. 

 Its coloration, however, is nearly similar to that of Caldmo- 

 dyta phragmitis. Six examples of this supposed new species
