called after him Ercmiornis carteri, of whicli the nest and 

 eggs have only recently been discovered. Three subspecies 

 I'.ave now been proposed, one from the coastal islands. 



Secondly, we come to the Rock-warbler of the rocky 

 gullies and river-sides, of which we cau gain the best 

 impression by comparing it to the British Dipper, as it flits 

 froui rock to rock, uttering shnll cries, while the nest is 

 similarly built on a rock-face and resembles a ball of 

 herbage. To the reviewer, when in Australia, the bird 

 seemed very shy and long absent from its eggs, and he 

 particularly noticed that the strand by which the nest was 

 attached to the roof of a cave was fiat and thin, like an 

 ordinary piece of elastic. The name is now OrigmeUu^ 

 in place of Ori'jiua preoccupied. The specific name rubri- 

 cata is shown to have been quite wrongly applied. 



The Little Field-Wreu is proved by the Lambert 

 drawings to be Latham's Streaked Warbler and is there- 

 fore named Chthonicula sayittata. In habits it is hardly less 

 interesting than the preceding forms. 



The Australian " Tits " begin in this part with the 

 synonymy and figures of Acaathiza pusilla.

Micronesia consists of the Pelew, Marianne, and Caroline 

 groups of islands situated in the Western Pacific between 

 130° and 165° E. long, and between the equator and 10° N. 

 lat. They formerly belonged to Germany, but under the 

 Paris Treaty passed into the possession of Japan. The 

 present volume, which is partly in Japanese and partly in 

 English, contains a complete list of the birds of these three 

 groups of islands numbering 152 species and subspecies, and 

 is illustrated with two good maps and a number of coloured 

 and uncoloured plates and text-figures. The list of the 

 species is prefixed by the description of the new forms
