SENNETT, GEORGE B. Further Notes on the Ornithology of the Lower 

 Rio Grande of Texas, from Observations made during the Spring 

 of 1878. By George B. Sennett. Edited, with Annotations, by 

 Dr. Elliott Cones, U. S. A. Bull. U. S. Geol. and Geogr. Surv. 

 of Terr., Vol. V., No. 3, pp. 371-440, November 30, 1879. 



The report of Mr. Sennett's three months' work (in April, May, and 

 June) in 1878. near Hidalgo, Texas, adds greatly to our knowledge of 

 the life-histories of many species of which we previously knew but little. 

 ... .In addition to the notes on the habits of the birds observed, which 

 in the case of the less known species amounts in some instances to full 

 biographies, the author presents us with extended tables of measure- 

 ments, gives detailed descriptions of nest and eggs, and occasionally 

 discusses points of relationship and nomenclature. .. .The "Notes" 

 relate to 168 species, and altogether form one of the most valuable of 

 the many recent contributions to local ornithology. J. A. A., Bull. Null. 

 OrnUh. Club, Vol. V., p. Ill, April, 1880.

 examination there can be no doubt that much of great interest will be 

 learned when this fossil is properlv worked out from the matrix. J. A.
