to the coast-line. Oa this occasion Mr. Pearson secured the 

 companionship of Mr. Chaworth Musters, and left Hull on 

 April 30th., picking up at Christiansund a third and most 

 useful member of the party in the shape of a Gordon setter, 

 which " set " to all nests on the ground. On reaching 

 Kola by the mail-steamer the travellers were most kindly 

 received by a Norwegian merchant, Mr. Skjaerseth, who 

 provided them with good rooms and arranged for their 

 passage by boat further up country to Pulozero, where, 

 after a variety of adventures en route, convenient head- 

 quarters were obtained at the telegraph-station. Here the 

 month of June was busily employed in ranging over the 

 surrounding district and collecting birds and eggs. On 

 June the 26th a new bird's note was heard, so distinct 

 in sound that it attracted attention at once. It proved 

 to be that of Eversrnan's Warbler {Phylloscopus borealis), 

 of which other examples were subsequently met with. On 

 July 6th the voyage home was commenced in the mail- 

 steamer. 



We have devoted some space to our notice of this volume 

 because of its great interest to British Ornithologists, who 

 will, we are sure, read it with very great pleasure. It is 

 admirably illustrated by 68 plates taken from photographs, 

 most of Avhich are excellent. It describes the summer- 

 haunts of many birds which we know in this country only 

 in the winter season and tells us strange stories of their ways 

 and habits. 



We heartily commend Mr. Pearson's volume to our 

 "birdy" friends.

Cryptolopha erythrace, sp. now, is allied to C. umbro-virens, 

 and is from near Keren in the Bogos district of N.E. Africa, 

 where the type was obtained along with other birds in 

 February, 1903, by Sign. Camillo Dai Fiume de Badia 

 Polesine.
