1919-] Recently published Ornithological Worka. 135 



Birds compiled from the B. O. U, List and printed on one 

 side of the page only. Captain Gladstone believes tliat it 

 will be found useful for carrying in the pocket when out 

 for a country walk, or when visiting a new locality, for 

 noting down birds either seen or heard. 



The Birds of Passage and the occasional and rarer 

 Visitors have not been included in the list, but the Resi- 

 dents, Summer visitants, and Winter visitants are designated 

 by ''E," "S" or "W" being placed after their names, 

 while those which have peculiar British racial forms are 

 distinguished by an asterisk. 



The pamphlet will undoubtedly be a useful one, but we 

 could have wished for something a little more elaborated 

 with short descriptions such as the work of Mr. Clive Lord 

 on Tasmanian birds which we have noticed on page 136. 

 Perhaps Mr. Gladstone will attempt something on these 

 lines. 



Lonnberg on African Birds, 



[Birds collected in Eastern Congo by Captain Elias Arrbeiiius. By 

 Einar Lonnberg. Ark. Zool. Stockholm, x. no. 24, 1917, pp. 1-27.] 



[Notes on some interesting East-African Birds. Id., ibid. xi. no. 5, 

 1917, pp. 1-6.] 



The first of these collections, consisting of about 525 

 specimens and 184 species, was made by Captain Arrhenius 

 in the neiglibourhood of Belli in the forest region north 

 of Lake Albert Edward. A number of interesting species 

 are mentioned, some of them not in Reichenow's recently 

 published avifauna of the Central African Lake district, 

 which shows such close affinities to the West African 

 faunal area. The female, previously unknown, of Columba 

 albinuclia Sassi is described, and an interesting new Hawk, 

 Accipiter beniensis, allied to A. sharpei Rchw., is described. 

 Names for two other subspecies believed to be distinct, 

 Mesopicus schoensis semischoensis and Neocossyphus rufus 

 arrhenii, are suggested. 



The second paper deals with a collection of birds made at 

 Elgon and Londiani in British East Africa by Dr. Leo Bayer,
