and that textual references to the figures of the plates are still insuffi- 

 ciently explicit . . .Mr. Ingersoll has his subject well in hand now; he 

 confines himself strictly to the announced scope of ,the treatise, and 

 holds his subject fairly abreast of the information we have acquired re- 

 specting it. E. C., Ball. Xult. Ornitk. Club, Vol. V., pp. 38, 39, January.

KRIDER, JOHN. Forty Years' Notes of a Field Ornithologist, by John 

 Krider, Member of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences 

 and author of Krider's Sporting Anecdotes, Philadelphia. Giving 

 a description of all birds killed and prepared by him. Philadel- 

 phia, 1879, 8vo., pp. i-xi., 1-84. 



....Mr. Krider has "endeavored to describe and give the history 

 of only those species of birds of the United states " which he has " col- 

 lected and mounted," and whose nests have come under his personal 

 observation . . But a casual glance through the pages of his work is 

 enough to show that these opportunities have been sadly neglected. . . 

 In short, it is only too evident that Mr. Krider's "Notes" are the off- 

 spring of a fading memory rather than the carefully kept data of a sys- 

 tematic worker. . . .Of the literary execution of the present work we can 

 say nothing favorable. . . . W. B., Hull. Aluit. Oridlh. Club, Vol. VII., pp.

... Of the 84 species noted, seven or eight relate to localities not 

 Arctic, being species that visited the ship while off Newfoundland and 

 neighboring points. Of the remainder only about twenty are land
