and was ultimately killed by the Arabs about Oct. 20, 1893, 

 some six days' march beyond Kinene, when he had nearly 

 arrived at the main stream of the Congo. Dr. Stuhlmann's 

 line is apparently ethnography, and we have been rather dis- 

 appointed at the few allusions to birds and bird-life in the 

 present narrative, the more so as we all know that Emin was 

 a devoted ornithologist. There are, however, some passages 

 relating to our special subject. On the heights of Kuwenzori 

 Dr. Stuhlmann met with a " small grey Tit " (perhaps Pina- 

 rochroa ht/pospodia of Mts. Kenia, Elgon, and Kilimanjaro ?). 

 In the Semliki valley Psittacus erithacus occurred (o/>. cit. 

 p. 312), and on the southern shores of Victoria Nyanza 

 Gymnoschizorhis leopoldi. It is surprising to find, from the 

 latest number of the ' Journal fiir Ornithologie,^ that the last 

 ornithological journal kept by Emin Pasha was written in 

 English. As will be seen by reference to this most inter- 

 esting paper (J. f. O. 1894, p, 162) (the original of which 

 was captured by the Belgian officers of the Congo Free State 

 at the storming of an Arab stronghold on the Upper Congo), 

 it refers to the birds noticed in the district of Undussuma, 

 S.W. of the Albert Nyanza, and at Irumu, on the right 

 bank of the Ituri, at the edge of the great wooded region 

 of the Upper Congo.

 Wilson, F.Z.S., assisted by A. H. Evans, M.A., F.Z.S. Part V., April

The fifth part of the ' Aves Hawaiienses ' makes us better 

 acquainted with some very interesting forms which were 

 previously little known. Palmeria dolii, Rhodacanthis pal- 

 jneri, Drepanis funerea, and Acrulocercus bishopi are all 

 novelties hitherto unfigured. Pennula ecaudata is also a 

 most peculiar bird. We congratulate the authors on their 

 good progress, and hope that they will soon get out Part VI. 

 and complete the work. 



The following species are figured in this part : — Palmeria 

 dolii, Hemignathus lichtensteini, H. lucidus, Rhodacanthis
