[Neue Voo:elformen aus Corsica. Von Dr. G. Scliieljel. Oni. Jahrb. 

 Jahrg. xxi. Heft 3 (1910).] 



Dr. Schiebel seems determined to make all the Corsican 

 birds new subspecies, and now describes Scops scops tschusii. 

 Prunella collaris tschusii, Fringilla coelehs tyrrheyilca, Musci- 

 capa striata (q. grisola) tyrrhenica, Troglodytes troglodytes 

 koenigi, Cvculus canorus hieinschmidti , and Emberiza cirlus 

 nigrostriata as new subspecies. 



58. Sclater's Record of the Ornithological Literature of 

 1909. 



[Zoological Record, Vol. xlvi. Avesby W. L. Sclater, M.A. London, 

 Nov. 1910. 130 pp.] 



The vacancy in the staff of the ' Zoological Record'' caused 

 by the death of Dr. Bowdler Sharpe has been filled by the 

 selection of Mr. W. L. Sclater for that laborious post, and 

 his report on the '' Aves " for 1909 is now before us. 



It commences, as in preceding reports, by a list of the 

 titles of the books and papers relating to Birds issued in 1909, 

 which were 1721 in number against 1949 in 1908. Then 

 follow the subject-indexes, in which the books and papers are 

 referred to by the name of the author and the number of his 

 paper in the "List of Titles," The most important of these are 

 the " Geographical^^ and the " Systematic." lu the former 

 the worker obtains information concerning the literature of 

 any particular part of the world that he may be interested in, 

 in the latter information concerning the birds of any special 

 grouj) in the system. In the latter index the compiler has 

 wisely, we think, followed the order of Sharpe's ' Hand-list,' 

 in order to conform with previous ' Records.' 



It may not be generally known that the Record on " Aves," 

 which is indispensable to all working Ornithologists, can be 

 purchased separately for the moderate price of Six Shillings.
