of these regions. The new species of this collection have 

 been already described"^ ; but one more is now added — Cisti- 

 cola ladoensis. Numerous critical notes and references are 

 given in the present paper, and also a few corrections and 

 additions to the former article on the same subject. In con- 

 clusion Dr. Hartlaub furnishes a systematic list of all the 

 species of birds (276) of which examples have been trans- 

 mitted by Dr. Emin Bey to the Museums of Bremen and 

 Vienna. Psittacus erithacus is common in Uganda and 

 Southern Unyoro ; and some interesting notes on its habits in 

 a state of nature are given. 



55. Harvie- Brown's Report on Scottish Ornithology. 



[Third Report on Scottish Ornithology — October 1st, 1880, to April 

 1881. Compiled by Mr. John A. Harvie-Brown, F.R.S.E. Proc. Nat. 

 ffist. See. Glasgow, 1881, p. 41.] 



After an account of the terrible weather experienced during 

 the winter of 1880-81 (gales from N.E. and E. all the season, 

 and severe frosts and snows, especially in January 1881, which 

 did great injury to the native species), Mr. Harvie-Brown 

 gives his notes upon the more remarkable occurrences in 

 systematic order. A Saxicola deserti (cf. Zool. 1881, p. 54) 

 was the prize of the season. Several examples of Lanius 

 excuhitor occurred, and one of Numenius borealis was shot, in 

 Kincardineshire. 



56. Harvie-Brown on the Migration of Birds. 



[Paper on the Migration of Birds upon our British Coasts, read before 

 the Stirling Field Club on Tuesday, 1.3th December 1881. By J. A. 

 Harvie-Brown, F.R.S.E. &c. 8vo. Stirling: 1881.] 



An excellent essay upon migration, in which special atten- 

 tention is drawn to Herr A. Weissman's paper on this subject 

 in the 'Contemporary Review' (vol. xxxiv. p. 531). At the 

 end is given a useful list of some of the later and more im- 

 portant essays on migration.
