26. Stempelmann and Schulz on the Birds of Cordoba. 



[Enumeracion de las Aves de la Provincia de Cordoba (Republica 

 Argentina) por Hugo Stempelmann y Federico Scliulz. Bol. Acad. Nat. 

 Cordoba, x. p. 393,] 



Mr, Schulz, assistant in the Museum of Zoology and Botany 

 of the National University of Cordoba, has kindly sent us a 

 separate copy of an article on the birds of the province of 

 Cordoba, prepared by Prof. Stempelmann and himself, Mr. 

 Schiilz is already well known to ornithologists for good work 

 in Argentina*, and we are glad to see that he is continuing 

 it. The list contains the names of 250 species met with in 

 the vicinity of Cordoba, and is intended as a prodromus of 

 an ' Ornito-fauna Cordobesa,' which, it is announced, will 

 shortly be published. Short indications are added as to 

 whether each species is resident or migrant, and as to what 

 kind of country it inhabits (mountains, plains, or forests). 

 " Demelioteucus," as applied to Molothrus badius, is a generic 

 term which we have not met with before, and several MS. 

 names unknown to us are likewise used. 



27. Wilson and Evans on Hawaiian Birds. 



[Aves Hawaiienses : the Birds of the Sandwich Islands. By Scott B. 

 Wilson, F.Z.S., assisted by A. H, Evans, M,A., F.Z.S. Part II. Sept. 

 1891 1. 4to. London: 1891. R.H.Porter.] 



We are glad to receive the second part of this valuable 

 work, and may perhaps venture to express a hope that the suc- 

 ceeding numbers will appear at rather shorter intervals. The 

 birds discussed and {well) figured in the present part are : — 

 Psittacirostra psittacea, Phaornis myiadestina, Ph. lanaiensis, 

 Drepanis pacifica, Himatione sanguinea, Oreomyza bairdi, 

 Chcetoptila angustipluma, and Buteo solitarius. Two other 

 Hawaiian species {Circus hudsonius and Asio accipitrinus) are 

 discussed, but not figured. In this number we have also an 

 excellent essay by Dr. Gadow on the structure of some of the 

 Hawaiian birds of which specimens were brought home by 

 Mr. Wilson in spirit. These specimens all belong to Osci-
