Its subject is the collections of birds brought from the 

 East Indies by Capt. H. Storm of the S.S. ' Liibeck/ and 

 presented by him to the Museum of the City of Liibeck. 

 Dr. "William Blasius, who, at the request of Dr. Lenz, the 

 Director of the Liibeck Museum, undertook to work out the 

 collection, divides it into seven sections : — (i.) Birds from 

 Pontianak in West Borneo; (ii.) those from other certain 

 localities in Borneo; (iii.) those from Celebes; (iv.) those from 

 the Sulu Islands ; (v.) those from Singapore ; (vi.) those from 

 Kiang, Malacca ; and (vii.) those from uncertain localities 

 of the Indo-Malayan district. On all these birds, mostly 

 well-known species, Dr. Blasius gives us good critical 

 remarks with references. From Pontianak 37 species are 

 recorded, among which is one of special interest to us, a 

 Stork, which is described as a new " variety " under the name 

 Melanopelargus episcopus stormi. It turns out that this is 

 the same bird as the Dissura mortoni lately described and 

 figured by Mr. Ogilvie-Grant in this Journal (' Ibis/ 1903, 

 p. 145, pi. v.), so that the species should in future be called 

 Dissura stormi. Dr. Blasius informs us that both he and 

 Dr. Fiusch are quite sure of their identification, and a note 

 on this point has already been published by Dr. Finsch in 

 the ' Ornithologische Notizeu ' for June last (1904, p. 94).
