 Zug und ihre Abanderunoen. Von Andreas Johannes Jackel. Heraus-

 Pp. 392.] 



Andreas Johannes Jackel, who died in 1885, was a well- 

 known worker on the Birds of Bavaria, and author of 

 numerous papers and memoirs on its ornithology. The 

 present work, which contains a resume of all his previous 

 contributions to the ornis of Bavaria in one complete volume, 

 was finished ready for the press in 1882, but received cor- 

 rections and additions up to the date of his last illness. It 

 is now published as a worthy memorial to an indefatigable 

 and excellent naturalist, under the editorship of his friend 

 Dr. Rudolf Blasius, who commences the volume by a portrait 

 and memoir of the author. 



According to JackeFs observations the avifauna of Bavaria 

 contains 312 species, of which many interesting particulars 

 are given as regards their habits, modes of occurrence, and 

 variations in the kingdom of Bavaria.
