 1. 'Annals of Scottish Natural History.' 



[The Annals bf Scottish Natural History. Nos. 47 & 48, July and 

 October 1903.] 



The first paper in the July number is by Mr. C. G. Cash, 

 who gives an account of the Loch-an-Eilein Ospreys since 

 1895, the date up to which Air. Harvie-Brown had summarized 

 their history in the l Vertebrate Fauna of the .Moray Basin/ 

 It is sad to learn, from a note by the Editors, that only one 

 Osprey appeared at the old hauut in the spring of 1903. and 

 that up to May 26th it was mateless. Mr. John Robertson 

 contributes a paper on the birds of the island of Bute ; and 

 this is followed by the continuation of Mr. T. G. Laidlaw's 

 Report on Movement and Migration in Scotland in 1902, 

 which is concluded in the October number. That part also 

 contains an extremely valuable article by Mr. Robert Service 

 on Bird-migration in Sol way — thoroughly deserving a 

 careful perusal. Among the minor notices are records of 

 Greenland Falcons in the Orkneys and Outer Hebrides, and 

 of a Crane at the Pentland Skerries, which was shot, with 

 reluctance, because of its devastation in the gardens. On 

 Sunday it was spared, for intelligible reasons, but on Monday 

 a renewal of the offence caused the close of its career. — H. S. 



2. Arrigoni deyli Oddi on French and Italian Birds. 



[Materiali per una Bibliografia Ornitologica Italiana. Per Dott. E. 

 Arrigoni degli Oddi. Atti 1st. Veneto, lxii. (1903) pp. 803-853. 



Deux mots sur la Buse feroce (Buteo fero.r) tue"e a Lyon en Octobre 

 1902. Parle Comte E. Arrigoni degli Oddi. Bull. Soc. Zool. France, 

 xxviii. (1903) pp. 1831-40.1 



The first article has been written chiefly for the assist- 

 ance of Italian ornithologists, and to induce local naturalists 

 to record the occurrence of rare species. Separate lists of 

 works are given for (1) Italy in general, (2) Northern Italy, 

 (3) Central Italy, (4) Southern Italy, (5) the Italian Islands 

 (including Sicily and Malta), and subdivisions of the same. 

 The list for Southern Italy is comparatively short.
