be seen to in future numbers. The journal is very well 

 printed, and got uj) in rather a large octavo size, about 

 lOix 8 inches. 



The first article is l)y the editor, and is a very useful 

 tabular list of Norwegiau birds^ showing their distribution 

 from south to north and the parallel of their northern 

 extension as well as their occurrence in Spitsbeigen or 

 Bear Island. We would direct the attention of the mem- 

 bers of the Spitsbergen Expedition to this list. The number 

 recorded in the list is 802, wliich may be contrasted 

 with 325 in the British List if the " rare visitors '■ be 

 excluded. 



The second article, by Mr. H. Brocli, tells us what is being 

 done in the matter of bird-protection in Sweden and 

 Denmark, and this is followed by an account of bird- 

 ringing in Norway and elsewhere by the editor, who has 

 bimself ringed some 372 birds in the last seven years. He 

 has also another contribution on migration in Norway, with 

 arrival dates from observations made in various parts of 

 the country. There are other articles of less importance 

 from the pens of H. FjehUierg, A. Bernhoft-Osa, and 

 B. Hanson, and finally a plea from Dr. Schaanning for 

 the formation of an Ornithological Central Stution at the 

 Stavanger Museum, where all records could be kept, 

 codified, and published in due course. 



We wish the new venture of our Norwegian fellow- 

 workers all success, and look forward to receiving future 

 numbers of their new jourual.
