Herr Schradcr. The second of these contained about 3000 

 skins^ referable to 1 15 species. Moreover, with the assistance 

 of some specimens from the Museum of Liibeck, Dr. Blasius 

 is enabled to give further particulars of the little-known 

 Gymnophaps poecilorrhoa (Briiggeman), and to establish a 

 hitherto doubtful Rhipidura as Rhipidura lenzi, sp. nov. 

 Further, he has received from Dr. A. B, Meyer explanations 

 concerning several of the species mentioned in that natu- 

 ralist's '' Field-Notes/' published in this Journal for 1879. 

 Lastly, with the assistance of Dr. Koch of Darmstadt, Dr. 

 Blasius is enabled to give particulars concerning some of the 

 dubious Celebean species described by Briiggeman in 1876. 

 From these four sources Dr. Blasius has greatly improved 

 our knowledge of the Celebean avifauna.

Few living ornithologists have a better personal acquaint- 

 ance with British Birds than Mr. E. T. Booth, and we are 

 all glad to have the results of his observations, accompanied, 

 as they are, by Mr. Neale's life-like illustrations. These 

 are taken entirely from subjects in Mr. Booth's own well- 

 known collection at Brighton, where every bird now figured 

 may be examined. No visitor to Brighton who cares the 

 least for ornithology should omit to visit Mr. Booth's bird- 

 gallery.
