point of Mindoro, but is nearer to Mindoro than to Luzon. 

 A collector has been working in the province of Benguetfor 

 several months and has obtained specimens of several of 

 the rare species discovered there by Whitehead, such as 

 Batrachostomus micro rhynchus, Prioniturus montanus, and 

 Chimarrhornis bicolor. 



The fourth number of the Journal is devoted to an 

 account, by the same author, of the birds collected on the 

 islands of Calayan and Fuga of the Babuyan group, lying 

 north of Luzon, during an expedition made in August 1903. 

 Examples of 166 species were obtained, and the following 

 are described as new : — Turtur ivorcesteri, Macropygia phcea, 

 Otus cuyensis, 0. cataijeusis, Eudynamis frater, Zosterops 

 flavissima, and Hyloterpe fallax. Besides these, 15 others 

 in the list are stated to be new to the Philippine avifauna. 



Good field-notes are given on many of the species. An 

 example of the rare Eagle Pithecophaga jefferyi, said to have 

 come from Albay Province, Luzon, has been acquired by the 

 Philippine Museum.

 representative in California " in the forested portions of the 

 transition and Boreal zones." The type-specimen is from 

 El Dorado County.

 Chapel. Bull. Soc. Acclim. France, 1004, pp. 207-212.] 



The author visited the Camargue in June 1904 and found 

 a considerable number of Flamingos' nests, though unfor- 

 tunately they had been destroyed by a storm. He hopes 

 to succeed better another year, but for the present can only 

 give measurements of the nests and the parent birds, from
