We are glad to see that Mr. Edward Bartlett is making 

 good progress with his illustrated work on the Weaver-birds 

 and Finches. Three parts were issued in 1889. The draw- 

 ings by Mr. F. W. Frohawk are in many instances very 

 good, and the colouring is generally well executed. 



The species figured in the three parts are the following • — 



Part III., Jan. 1889. 

 Muuia fuscata. Coccothraustes personatus. 



malacca. melanurus. 



Phrygilus fruticeti. Euplectes flanimiceps.
