Island, referred with doubt to G. antarctica, for which the 

 alternative new name G. longipennis is proposed, and a 

 Upucerthia, allied to U. dumetoria, described as U.propinqua, 

 from Gregory Bay. The small Cormorant usually called Pha- 

 lacrocorax brasilianus (Gm.) is termed P. vigua (Vieill.), 

 as Gmelin's name is considered not to refer to this species. 



72. Salvadori on Additions to Papuan Ornithology . 



[Aggiunte alia Ornitologia della Papuasia e delle Molucclie. Per 

 Tommaso Salvadori. Parte seconda. Passeres. 4to. Torino : 1890.] 



We have now before us the second part of Count Salva- 

 dori's account of the additions to the Papuan Ornis since the 

 completion of his great work on this subject. The first part 

 (noticed above, p. 258) referred to the Accipitres, Psittaci, 

 and Picarise. The present part relates to the Passeres, of 

 which 89 additional species are now recognized as belonging 

 to the Papuan Subregion. Of these 89 species, 84 are 

 recent discoveries, 1 was omitted by inadvertence, 1 is an old 

 species recently met with in the Timor-Laut group, and 3 

 (Edolisoma nehrkorni, from Waigiou, Dicruropsis guillemardi, 

 from Pisa, one of the Obi group, and Pachycephala meyeri, 

 from the Arfak mountains, New Guinea) are now described 

 for the first time. Numerous additional references and many 

 notes are also given upon the species enumerated in the 

 former work, so as to bring the whole information on the 

 subject up to date.

[Catalogue of the Passeriformes, or Perching Birds, in the Collection 

 of the British Museum. — Tracheophone, or the Families Dendrocolaptidse, 

 Formicariidas, Conopophagidse, and Pteroptochidoe. By Philip Lutley 

 Sclater. London : 1890.] 



The fifteenth volume of the Catalogue of Birds in the 

 British Museum is devoted to the Tracheophonine Passeres — 

 a group distinguished from the normal Passeres by the 

 peculiar modification of their trachea, as first discovered by 

 Johann Muller. The Tracheophonine structure prevails, so 

 far as is yet known, only in four families of Passeres, all of
