and of the first Sliore-Lark. In vol. xx. No. 1, we have a 

 report from the same pen of the abundance of Black 

 Redstarts on migration in 1910, and a notice of an American 

 Blue-winged Teal shot in County Cork (which may have 

 been an escajied bird) by Mr. A. R. Nicols. In No. 3 the 

 last-named discusses the Irish forms of the Dipper^ Jay, and 

 Coal Titmouse, which have been recently distinguished from 

 the typical species, and in No. 4 Mr. Barringtou writes 

 on the third of these forms. In No. 5 jNIr. W. J. Williams 

 records the first Nuthatch for Ireland (commented on by 

 Mr. C. B. Mofiat on p. 115), and in No. 6 Mr. Barringtou 

 has a very important article (with a map) on the Great 

 rush of Birds on the night of March 29th-30th in Ireland. 

 In No. 7 Miss Dobbs and Mr. Moifat write on " Luminous 

 Birds'^ and, finally, in No. 8 Mr. Usslier tells us that he has 

 discovered a breeding colony of tlie Fulmar Petrel on the 

 west coast of Ireland (iu IMayo). Of this discovery details 

 are given in No. 9, where a second locality for Ireland is also 

 mentioned, and extra notes are added by iNIr. Barringtou. 



91. K/oss on Malayan Birds. 



A recently issued uumber of the 'Journal of the 

 Federated Malay States Museums ' (vol. iv. no. 2) contains 

 two short papers relating to Birds by Mr. C. Boden Kloss, 

 the Curator of the Perak State Museum. In the first of 

 these a list is given of the birds of the " district of Trengganu," 

 which is stated to have " received very little attention from 

 zoologists." Seventy-nine species are named, besides 

 otliers " observed.'" In the second paper, the Mammals and 

 Birds of the low lands of the State of Paliang are enume- 

 rated — the species of birds are 135. Two specimens of the 

 rare Banded Kingfisher {A/cedo enryzona) are the first that 

 have been taken in the Federated Malay States for many 

 years, while the unstable state of Mesobiicco duvaaceli, the 

 commonness of Munia leucogastra, and the fact that Selaria 

 affinis occurs in an area where another closely allied form 

 was thought to h.ave replaced it, arc other pieces of ncMs 

 that cail for comment.
