7. Feilden on the Domicile of the Diablotin. 



[The Deserted Domicile of the Diablotiu in Dominica. By Col. H. W. 

 Feilden, F.G.S., C.M.Z.S. Trans. Norfolk & Norw. Nat. Soc. v. p. 24.]

 {Didelphys cancrivora) which have been recently introduced. 

 Col. Feilden gives us an interesting account of his visit to 

 the former homes of this Petrel, and much useful information, 

 extracted from the works of old authors, on its habits and on 

 the various modes of capturing it formerly prevalent.

 author has divided the area of the Italian Avifauna, and con- 

 tains a large mass of information. 



We observe that Dr. Giglioli believes that he has once 

 seen an example of Sitta whiteheadi near Ponte alia Leccia, 

 in Corsica, in September 1877.
