Some of Prof. SundevalFs collocations will surprise his 

 brother ornithologists, such as his reference of Panurus (sive 

 Calamophilus) to the Viduinae, of Upupa to the vicinity of 

 the Larks, of Dasycephala to the Tityrinse, and of Glareola 

 to the Caprimulgidse ! But Prof. Sundevall is not one of 

 those persons who do things without giving some good reason 

 for them. 



We have also received, addressed " To the Editor," copies 

 the first two parts of a new American ornithological work 

 entitled ' The Birds of Florida/ containing original descrip- 

 tions of upwards of 250 species, with notes on their habits by 

 C.J. Maynard, with 5 plates drawn and coloured from nature 

 by Helen S. Farley : Salem, Naturalists' Agency, 1872-73 : 

 and No. xiv. of the ' Journal de Sciencias ' of Lisbon, con- 

 taining a seventh paper by Prof. Barboza du Bocage on the 

 birds of the Portuguese possessions in Africa. 



As regards forthcoming works on ornithology we may 

 mention that a new edition of Mr. Layard's work on the 

 birds of South Africa, under the supervision of Mr. Sharpe, 

 is in preparation, and that Mr. Shelley is engaged on a book 

 relating to the birds of the western portion of the same con- 

 tinent. 



Mr. Gould is preparing to issue the final numbers of his 

 great work ' The Birds of Great Britain/ which will, we 

 believe, be completed before the end of the year. 



A new work on the Birds of the New World, consisting 

 of a catalogue of the species known to occur in the Neotro- 

 pical Region, and an account of their distribution, is noticed 

 in our advertising columns. 



A reprint of Boddaert's excessively rare work, ' Table des 

 Planches Enluminees/ which ornithologists are constantly 

 requiring for reference, has been undertaken by Mr. Teget- 

 meier, F.L.S. We have seen proofs of the reprint, which is 

 a verbatim et literatim copy of the original, every word, line, 

 and page being reproduced in fac-simile, even to the typo-
