74i. Lawrence on Audubon's Petrel in the West Indies. 



[An Account of the Breeding-Habits of Piiffinus awrf'M^om in the Island 

 of Grenada, West Indies, with a Note on Zenaida rubrijies. By George 

 N. Lawrence. The Auk, vi. p. 19.] 



Mr. Lawrence records that Mr. John G. "Wells, of Grenada, 

 paid a visit on April 2nd, 1888, to a small island called 

 Labaye Rock, about a mile off the port of Greenville, and 

 there found Puffinus auduboni breeding. This makes an 

 addition to the Grenadan fauna. Col. Feilden has recently- 

 recorded the breeding of this Petrel in Barbados {supra, 

 p. 60), and it is known to be common in Bermuda.

As will be seen by the list, our President is making good 

 progress with his series of coloured illustrations of British 

 birds. Since our last notice of this beautiful work, six more 

 numbers have appeared, each containing figures of twelve 

 species. Those who require a handy book of reference to 

 the feathered tribes of the British Islands without the trouble 

 of referring to descriptions will do well to subscribe to Lord 

 Lilford's work, which is at the same time of a very orna- 

 mental and artistic character. The six numbers now before 

 us contain figures of the following species : — 



Fire-crest, Yellow-browed Warbler, Chiffchaff, Willow 

 Warbler, Hedge Sparrow, Bed-backed Shrike, Corn Bunting, 

 Ortolan Bunting, Reed Bunting, Little Bunting, Swift, Spar- 

 row Hawk, Marsh Titmouse, Blue Titmouse, Grey Wagtail 

 (2 plates). Blue-headed Wagtail, Yellow Wagtail, Wax wing, 

 Common or House Sparrow, Black-headed Bunting, Yellow 

 Hammer, Cirl Bunting, Rustic Bunting, Blackbird, Alpine 

 Accentor, Common or Brown Linnet, Rose-coloured Pastor, 

 Pied Woodpecker, Hoopoe, Night Heron, Bittern, Black 

 Grouse, Woodcock, Sooty Shearwater, Bulwer's Petrel, Nut-
