132 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



As regards the 116 species represented in Mr. Rohde's col- 

 lectiorij we need hardly say that this task has been performed 

 by Graf v. Berlepsch in the most satisfactory way. Our 

 author also gives us in an Appendix a complete systematic 

 list of all the Birds hitherto ascertained to occur in Paraguay, 

 which will be found most useful for the identification of the 

 remainder of Azara's species. 



3. Blasius on the Birds of Celebes. 



[Beitrage ziir Kenntniss der Vogelfauna von Celebes. III. Von Prof. 

 Dr. Willi. Blasius. Zeitschr. f. d. ges. Oruitliol. Jalir. iii. p. 193.] 



In his third contribution to the Bird-fauna of Celebes {cf. 

 Ibis, 1887, p. 104), Dr. Blasius gives an account of 15 species, 

 of which specimens were contained in several collections for- 

 warded by Herr Riedel to the Zoological Museum of the 

 Imperial Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg. There 

 were 78 species represented in the collections, but the rest 

 of them have been mentioned in Dr. Blasius's previous paper 

 on RiedePs birds. A complete list of these 78 species is 

 added. Two of them, Numenius cyanopus and Nettapus 

 pulchellus, are new to the Celebesian Avifauna. 



4. Bryant on the Ornithology of Guadalujje Island. 



[Additions to the Ornithology of Guadalupe Island. By Walter E. 

 Bryant. Bull. Californ. Ac. Sci. ii. p. 2G9.] 



Mr. Bryant . has twice visited Guadalupe in pursuit of 

 ornithological studies, and remained on the second occasion 

 112 days in this remote island, which lies in the Pacific 

 Ocean off the Calif ornian shores, some 220 miles S.W. of 

 San Diego. Guadalupe is about 15 miles long, and 5 in 

 width at its broadest part. It is of volcanic origin, and at 

 its highest point attains a height of 4523 feet. Much of its 

 surface is covered with sage-brush, but there are some 

 scattei'ed groves of pines, oaks, and other trees. 



The Avifauna of Guadalupe Island was entirely unknown 

 until Dr. E. Palmer visited it in 1875 and made the collection 

 described by Mr. Ridgway, which contained examples of 8
