Recently published Ornithological Works. 163 



of Birds, which the author has uiifortunately found it necessary 

 to publish in several forms and in different periodicals. In 

 a uniform and connected series they would have been of much 

 greater value. 



The result arrived at is that the Order Steganopodes is com- 

 posed of 3 " Superfamilies " — Pelecanoidea, Phaethontoidea, 

 and Fregatoidea. To the first of these belong the four 

 families Pelecanidse, Phalacrocoracidae, Anhingidse, and 

 Sulidse; while the other two are based upon the genera 

 Phaethon and Fregata, which constitute respectively the 

 families Phaethontidse and Fregatidse. 



Ten plates, reproduced from photographs, illustrate this 

 memoir.

 the occurrence of various species (2J- and 33 respectively)

27. Winge on the Birds of the Danish Lighthouses, 1902. 



[Fuglene ved de danske Fyr i 1902. 20 de Aarsberetning om danske 

 Fugle. Ved Herluf Winge. Vidensk. Meddel. fra den naturh. Foren.

This is the twentieth of the excellent series of reports on 

 the birds met with at the Danish lighthouses, and relates to 

 the year 1902, during which 750 specimens of 50 species 

 were sent to Copenhagen from 30 localities. These are all 

 discussed in the usual thorough manner. The four most 

 abundant victims of the Danish lighthouses appear to be 

 Alauda arvensis, Sturnus vulgaris, Turdas musicus, and 

 Erithacus rubecula.
