60. Backhouse on European Birds. 



[A Handbook of European Birds, for the use of Field-Naturalists and 

 Collectors. By James Backhouse, Jun., F.Z.S. 8vo. London : Gurnej 

 and Jackson, 1890.] 



Mr. Backhouse has produced a useful book and one that 

 will, no doubt, be often referred to by working ornitholo- 

 gists. It is a pity, however, that he did not look after the 

 artist who drew the frontispiece more sharply. The " anal 

 region " in the typical bird is certainly not properly placed 

 between the legs, nor the " rump " halfway up the back. 

 We must also object to the author's usage of the term 



* Gray mentions a specimen from Bogota, but I do not know to 

 which form it belongs.
