37. Gyldenstolpe on Algerian Birds. 



[Bidrag till Kannedomen om det liugre Djiirlifvet i Algeriet, af Nils 

 Gyldenstolpe. Upsala, 1910. 48 pp.] 



Count Nils Fersen Gyldenstolpe, of Stockholm, has 

 favoured us m ith a copy o£ his article on the vertebrates 

 obtained or observed during a recent tour in Algeria. 

 The species of Birds met with were 98 in number, and short 

 field-notes are attached to the names of each of them. 

 The nomenclature used seems to be that of Dr. Ilartert in 

 his 'Paleearctic Birds,' to whom and to Prof. Lonnberg the 

 author renders thanks for assistance in the determination 

 of difficult specimens. 



38. Ilartert's 'Miscellanea Ornithologica.'

 Notes, mostly on Pala>arctic I'.irds and their Allies. By Ernst Ilartert, 

 Ph.D., &c. Nov. Zuol. xvii. p. 477.] 



Dr. Hartert first takes up the very difficult genus Saxicola, 

 and says that it is impossible to separate from it the " so- 

 called " genus Dromolcea, in which we quite agree with him. 

 But, as will be seen by what follows, there are many other 

 serious questions among the Stonechats as yet undecided. 



The author then discusses the scarce and little-known 

 Wrens of the genera Tesia, Speheornis, Sphenocichla, and 

 their allies, and devotes a plate to their illustration. 



Finally, Dr. Hartert endeavours to shew that the correct 

 name of the Green Bee-eater [Merops viridis) is Merops lamark 

 lamark. But it would be very inadvisable to alter the title 

 of such a well-known species.
