The last part of Dr. van Oort's great work on the birds of 

 Holland contains only plates, no text, These, thirty in 

 number, deal with the Birds of Prey, Game-birds, Shore- 

 birds, Rails, and the Crane, and fully uphold the standard 

 set in the previous parts already noticed (Ibis, 1919, p. 552, 

 and 1932, p. 205). 



Wetmore's recent papers. 



[Three new birds of the fiimily Tinamidae from South America. B}' 

 Alexander Wetmore. Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci. vol. 11, pp. 434-437, 

 1921.] 



[Description of a Brachyspiza from the Chaco of Argentine and 

 Paraguay. Ibid. Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 35, pp. 39-40, 1922.] 



[A new genus and four new subspecies of American birds. By 

 Alexander Wetmore and James L. Peters, Ibid. pp. 41-46.] 



The new Timamous are Rhynchotus arcanus from Parana, 

 Argentina, Nothura maculosa savannarum from Uruguay, 

 and Calopezus elegans albidis from San Juan, Argentina. 

 In the second paper is described Brachispiza capensis mellea 

 from Paraguay, and in the third a new genus Teledromas 

 allied to Rhinocrypta Gray, and new races of Dendrocygna, 

 Colaptes, Brachyspiza, and Saltator. The first of these, 

 Dendrocygna bicolor helva., is proposed for the North and 

 Central American Tree-Duck, which the authors believe is 

 distinguishable from that inhabiting southern South America 

 and which retains the original name. They do not state 

 their views in regard to the African examples of the species.
