Two species, Pandion halia'etus and Botaurus stellaris, are 

 added to the author's former list of Greenland birds. The 

 avifauna of Greenland now consists of about 125 species, of 

 which 56 are accidental visitors.

1 . Synonymik der europ'dischen Brutvogel und G'dste. Syste- 

 matisches Verzeichniss nebst Angaben iiber die geogra- 

 phische Verbreitung der Arten unter besonderer Beriick- 

 sichtigung der Brutverhdltnisse. Gr. 8vo, pp. 257. 

 (Halle : Schwedtschke, 1872.) 



This little work will be of value to those ornithologists who 

 have no access to a good library, as it gives references to the 

 principal works on European ornithology, but by no means 

 a full synonymy, as the title would lead one to believe. It 

 is to be regretted that a lot of species which certainly never 

 did occur in Europe, for instance, Podoces panderi, Neophron 

 pileatus, Phyllopneuste javanica, Horsf. (which is really a 

 Zosterops) , are included ; otherwise the book might have 

 become a good successor to SchlegeFs ' Revue critique ' of 

 1844.
