Togoland, a name hardly to be found except in our most 

 recent maps of Africa, is a German colony on the West- 

 African coast that has lately received much active attention 

 from exploring naturalists. In 1891-92 Dr. Reichenow 

 published a series of articles upon the birds collected there 

 by Dr. Buttner, and enumerated 133 species as belono-ing to 

 its avifauna. Since then Herr Baumann, Lieutenant\lose, 

 and Graf Zech have been active in supplementing Dr. Butt- 

 ner's researches, and Dr. Reichenow is now able to increase 

 the known number of the birds of Togoland to 279. These 

 are all mentioned in the present catalogue, and references, 

 field-notes, and other remarks are added. Two coloured 

 plates contain figures of the principal novelties of the Togo- 

 land ornis '.—Centrococcijx mechowi, Trachylamus togoensis, 

 PfnjUosfrejj/ius baumanni, and Crateropus reinivardti.

[List of the Birds of South Africa. Capetown, 1896. 8 pp.] 



Mr. W. L. Sclater has printed, for the use of the South-. 

 African Museum (which is now in progress of re- arrangement), 

 a list of the names of the birds of South Africa, according 

 to the order of the British Museum Catalogue. References 

 are added to Sharpe and Layard's ' Handbook of South- 

 African Birds,' of which, however, the nomenclature is in 

 many cases changed. 



Mr. W. L. Sclater's List contains the names of no less 

 than 775 species as hitherto recorded from Africa south of 

 the Zambesi.
