29. Smith's Miscellaneous Ornithological Papers. 



[Sir Andrew Smith's Miscellaneous Ornithological Papers. Reprinted 

 by the Willughby Society ; edited by Osbert Salvin, M.A., F.R.S., &c. 

 Royal 8vo. London : 1880.] 



The present reprint of Sir Andrew Smithes Ornithological 

 Papers, so difficult of access to most workers, will, we doubt 

 not, be generally appreciated, and much increase the popu- 

 larity of the Willughby Society. 



30. Steere on the Mammals and Birds of Ann Arbor. 



[A List of the Mammals and Birds of Ann Arbor and Vicinity. By 

 Prof. J. B. Steere. 8vo. 1880.] 



Not a complete list, but (with the exception of a few, 

 given upon the authority of labelled specimens in the Museum) 

 the result of about three years' collecting and observing : 111 

 species of birds are enumerated. Ann Arbor is in the State 

 of Michigan. 



31. ' Stevenson on the Pomatorhine Skua.' 



[On the Abundance of Pomatorhine and smaller Skuas on the Norfolk 

 Coast in October and November 1879. By Henry Stevenson, F.L.S. 

 Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc, 1880.] 



Mr. Stevenson gives us an account of the " appearance, in 

 extraordinary number, of Pomatorhine Skuas [Stercorarius 

 pomatorhinus), with Richardson's and Buffon's Skuas in very 

 much smaller numbers,'" on the Norfolk coast in the autumn 

 of 1879. The invasion, it is Avell known, extended to other 

 parts of the English coast. A fine opportunity thus pre- 

 sented itself of studying the singular variations in plumage 

 of this species, of which we need hardly say our excellent 

 fellow-worker does not fail to avail himself.
