consists of 35 titles of papers by the late Marquis of Tweeddale, all but one 

 published during the years 1867-1881, with 15 additional titles of papers 

 by other authors. The annotations show very fully the bearing of the 

 papers cited upon Philippine ornithology. — J. A. A. 



Marble on Birds of New Hampshire. 1 — This is a privately printed list of 

 92 species, given under vernacular names. It contains many records of 

 interest and forms an apparently trustworthy summary of the birds 

 occurring at Crawford's during the breeding season. As the title indicates, 

 it is based on five years' observations. — J. A. A. 



Reed's 'Bird Guide.' 2 — In this attractive little work each species is 

 illustrated in color, the figure and the text occupying a single page. The 

 text is biographical, describing the range of the species, its notes, and 

 nesting habits. The colored figures, with the ' Field Key' at the end of the 

 book, afford the means of identification. The illustrations (wash drawings, 

 colored) are surprisingly adequate considering their cost, and will greatly 

 aid amateurs in recognizing the birds they meet with in life. As a 'Bird 

 Guide' it is truly multum in parvo. — J. A. A. 



Cherrie on New Birds from the Orinoco Region and Trinidad. 3 — The new 



species and subspecies are, (1) Formicivora canofumosus, from the Orinoco; 

 (2) Planesticus fumigatus aquilonalis, from Trinidad; (3) Pachyrhamphus 

 marcidus, from the Orinoco; (4) Anoplops rufigula, from the Caura River, 

 Venezuela. A new genus is Inezia; type, Capsiempis caudata Salvin. —

Miller's Experiment in the Colonization of the House Martin. 4 — The 

 experiment consisted in taking on July 14, 1908, five young birds from 

 Portland to Shawnee, nine miles distant on the Delaware River in Penn- 

 sylvania. The birds, just able to fly, were successfully reared by hand. 

 One of the birds, escaping on the fourth day after they were transferred 

 to their new home, flew away and did not return to the home but was 

 repeatedly seen in the neighborhood associating with Barn Swallows.
