88. Noska and Tschusi zu Sckmidlioffen on the Caucasian 

 Snoiv- Partridge. 



[Das kaukasische Koaigshuhn {Tetraogallus caucasicus, Pall.). Eine 

 monographische Stadie von Max Noska unter Mitwirkimg vou Victor, 

 Ritter von Tschusi zu SchmidliofFen. Separatabdr. aus ' Ornith. Jahrb.' 

 vii. 1896.] 



This is a pendant to the excellent treatise on the Black- 

 cock of the Caucasus {Tetrao mlokosieviczi) of the same 

 authors published last year (see Ibis, 1896, p. 277), and, 

 like its precursor, has been prepared and edited by Victor, 

 Ritter zu Schmidhoffen, from the notes of Max Noska. 

 Noska, who has since unfortunately lost his life, was " Jagd- 

 leiter^' to one of the Russian Grand Dukes, who have 

 extensive shooting-rights in the Caucasus, and had thus good, 

 opportunities of becoming acquainted with this noble bird. 

 Of these he appears to have availed himself very successfully, 

 as the account of the habits of this inhabitant of the Cau- 

 casian mountain-summits is very thorough and complete. 

 The best mode of shooting the Tetraogallus, which is only 

 permitted in the months of October and November, is also 

 described. As the bird is not found below the level of 

 7O0O feet, the chase of it appears to be by no means an 

 easy task.

 [Birds of Narberth, Pa., and Vicinity. By W. E. Eotzell, M.D. 8vo.

 Narberth, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, originally 

 prepared for a newspaper — ' The Citizen/ It contains 108 

 species, on which short notes are given. We observe that the 

 Turkey- Vulture [Cathartes aura) is included as a "summer 

 resident,'^ and that nests are often met with.
