458 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



namely, Grus lilfurdi {=G. commimis), G. meocicana (=G. 

 canadensis) , and Balearica (jibhericeps { = B. reyidorum) . As 

 regards the last-named species, Mr. Blaauw points out that 

 authors have made a great error in assigning- to it the specific 

 name " chrysopelargus, Licht./^ the Ardea chrysopelaryus of 

 Lichtenstein being manifestly nothing more or less than the 

 Black Stork. He therefore restores to the Cape Crowned 

 Crane the specific name " regulorum, Bennett." With these 

 suggestions of Mr. Blaauw we are fully prepared to agree. 



Thus Mr. BlaauAV recognizes in all 16 species of Gruidse, 

 divided into three genera, and gives good figures of them all 

 — all taken from life, except in the case of Gri(s nigricollis. 

 Besides these we have six more plates devoted to the illustra- 

 tion of the young birds and the eggs, making 22 plates 

 in all. 



Only 170 copies of this work have been prepared, and we 

 have no doubt tliat they will be quickly disposed of. A 

 similar monograph of the Storks would make an excellent 

 companion volume, and we hope that Mr. Blaauw will now 

 devote his attention to this subject. 



66. Brown -Goode, G. — Bibliography of Sclater's Pub- 

 lications. 



[Bibliography of the Published Writings of Philip Lutley Sclater, 

 F.R.S., Secretary of the Zoological Society of Londou. Prepared under 

 the direction of G. Brown-Goode. Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. no. 47.] 



The 49tli number of the ' Bulletin ' of the United States 

 National Museum, lately issued, contains a bibliography of 

 Sclater's published writings, prepared under the direction of 

 the late Dr. G. Brown-Goode, and, we believe, one of the 

 last, if not the very last, piece of work that our much-regretted 

 friend brought to a close before his untimely decease. As 

 pointed out by Dr. Brown-Goode in his preface, it was 

 undertaken because most of Sclater's writings relate to the 

 birds of Central and South America, a subject to which the 

 ornithologists of the United States are now devoting special 

 attention. The copying and arrangement of the titles was 

 done by Mr. George Arthur Doubled ay, clerk in the Zoo-
