REVEWS: 
A Bibliography of British Ornithology from the earliest times to 
the end of 1912. By W. H. Mullens and H. Kirke Swann. 
Parts V. and VI. (1917, 6s. each net). 

WE have now received the last of the six parts in which 
this useful work is issued. A list of Addenda and Corrigenda, 
extending from page 675 to 691, is conveniently printed on 
one side of the paper only, so that it can be cut up into slips 
and each addition inserted in its proper place in the work. 
We hope that a further supplementary list may be issued 
in which the corrections in critical notices of the parts under 
review can be incorporated. A list of Bibliographies is also 
appended, but we fail to understand on what principle Kelsall 
and Munn’s Birds of Hampshire and Pidsley’s Birds of Devon 
are the only local works mentioned. Many others, such as 
those by Ticehurst, Forrest, Gladstone and others, contain 
similar bibliographical chapters, and we think that the list 
should either have been confined to works treating of 
Bibliography alone, or else that all such works should have 
been included. 
We may preface our notes by the insertion here of some 
supplementary remarks on Part IV. On page 446, under date 
1864—[1907] for Oothece read Ootheca—This work should 
be marked with an asterisk. Mr. J. P. Nunn has published 
a pamphlet entitled ‘Sixteen years with the Common 
Sparrow” (1903). Mr. Heatley Noble is not a member of 
the B.O.U. (p. 450), as he resigned in 1910. 
Dr. M. H. C. Palmer’s list of the Birds of Newbury (p. 456) 
is founded on a series of four articles on the Birds of Newbury 
and district contributed by him to the Newbury Weekly News 
for 1886. We do not see any reference to Prof. C. J. Patten’s 
paper on Rambles on Achill Island (Irish Nat. XVII., pp. 
189-203), published in 1908. 
Mr. H. C. Playne, referred to in the Addenda on p. 689, 
is also the author of a small pamphlet of 49 pp., entitled 
““ Some common Birds of the neighbourhood of Clifton ” (1906). 
Mr. R. H. Read has published a useful paper on the Birds 
of the Lower Brent Valley (1896), which originally appeared 
in the Rep. and Trans. of the Ealing Nat. Sci. Society, and 
has also contributed several notes to the Zoologist. 
By some oversight all the papers contributed by Dr. J. H. 
Salter to the Zoologist while resident at Aberystwith are
