 there are many other papers on individual species of Inrds 

 and so forth, the most important of which seem to be those

The first four numbers of this volume contain several 

 articles of general interest to Ornithologists besides those 

 s[)ccially devoted to aviculture. Of these we may first mention 

 Dr. Glinther's account of the longevity of certain birds which 

 he has kept {cf. Avicult. Mag. 1910, pp. 259, 299), and Mr. L. 

 Seth-Sraith's notes on some interesting Uganda birds and 

 their nests (Kilimanjaro Sun-bird, Paradise Flycatcher, 

 Shelley's Coly, Crested Crane, Emin's Warbler, and so forth). 

 The .*ame writer and Mr. W. L. Sciater respectively write ou 

 lloss's Touraco {col, pi.) and the Bromvogel [Bucora.v cafer) 

 in their native lands and iu captivity ; while Mr. D. Setb- 

 Smith discusses the case of the Common Quail and its 

 destruction for culinary purposes. Lady William Cecil gives 

 us hei- ornithological experiences iu the Egyptian Desert_, 

 Dr. Butler a dissertation on the revelation of Ignorance by 

 Knowledge, ami Mr. D. Seth-Smith his usual important 

 notes ou the Zoological Gardens and their new acquisitions.
