He has also additional notes on birds from northern Mindanao, 1 relating 

 to 7 species, and a note on the migration of the Tic-wee Buzzard 2 (Bulaster 

 indicus) in the Philippine Islands, which it visits in great numbers in 

 autumn. A plate gives two views of a living bird. There is also in this 

 connection a further installment of his bibliography of Philippine orni- 

 thology. 3 



Another paper relates to the birds of Northern Luzon and to those of 

 several neighboring small islands, 4 based on short visits made to the 

 several localities in August, 1909. Owing to the limited time available 

 only a few species were noted at each of eight different points visited. 



His ' Notes on a Collection of Birds from Northern Negros' 5 are based on 

 a collection made by Mr. Andres Celestino in February and March, 1909, 

 It includes 55 species, of which four are believed to be here recorded from 

 this island for the first time. A summary of previous papers relating to 

 the birds of Negros forms a useful introduction to the present list. — J. A. A. 



Reichenow on African Birds. — The notable activity of Dr. Reich- 

 enow in the field of African ornithology is evinced in the three important 

 papers from his pen here under notice. The first is a report 6 on a collection 

 of birds made in the region of the Rio Benito, Spanish Guinea, by Herr 

 Tessmann in 1906-09. The collection numbered 194 species, and the 

 briefly annotated list here given shows the close faunistic agreement of the 

 birds of this region with those of the Kamerun coast region. 



The second paper is a report upon a collection of birds made in the 

 interior of Kamerun made by Herr Riggenbach in 190S-09, to which is 

 added a list of all the species thus far known from Kamerun, 7 with the 

 localities at which they have been taken. The collection contained about 

 1000 specimens, representing 305 species, of which 34, or 10 %, were new 

 (since described by Reichenow in 1910 in Orn. Monatsb.). The annota- 

 tions include not only the localities and dates of collecting, but often 

 important technical comment on the relationships and ranges of some of
