We find also articles by Mr. D. Setli-Sraith on the 

 rare Cinnamon Teal [Querquedula cyanoptera, col. pi.), 

 in addition to a continuation of the same author's 'Notes 

 from the Zoological Gardens'* and article on Practical 

 Bird-keeping (Parrakeets). The practical keeping of Star- 

 lings is discussed by Dr. Butler and that of Hawks and 

 Owls by Mr. Bonhote, who also writes on the Oven-bird 

 and its nest (cuts) in conjunction with Mr. H. D. Astley. 

 Mr. M. J. Nicoll has a paper on Brehm's Hoopoe (cuts), 

 Mr. H. D. Astley writes on the Red-capped Parakeet (col. pi.), 

 and Mr. C. B. Smith on the Rufous-throated Tree-Partridge. 



Mr. T. H. Newman gives an account of a second expedition 

 to North-west Africa (Algeria and Tunis) in March and 

 April 1911, and Mr. H. Goodchild discourses on the "Water- 

 colour Studies of Bird-life, painted by our fellow-member, 

 Mr. G. E. Lodge, and calls attention to their excellence. 



83. Bartholomew's Zoogeography. 



[Atlas of Zoogeography. A Series of Maps ilhistrating the Distribution

 Prepared by J. G. Bartholomew, W. Eagle Clarke, and Percy S.

 lated by zoologists on this subject during the last thirty-five 

 years, it was quite time that a new general review of the 

 present state of our knowledge of this important branch of 

 Zoology should be prepared. This has been eflected by the

 by Mr. Wallace, the Class of Birds is one of the most

 as more is known about the exact localities of Birds than is 

 the case with any other Class of animals. Moreover, the
