QQ. HUgcrt on a neiv Laniarius. 



[Laniarius fmiebris ilegcner, subsp. nov., von C. Ililgert. Nov. Zool. 

 xviii. p. G05.] 



Herr Hilgert writes on the races of the African Bush- 

 shrikes allied to Laniarius funebris, and decides that they 

 should be referred to three subspecies, which he proposes to 

 call Laniarius funebris funebris (East Africa), L. f. degener 

 (South Somaliland), and L. f. atrocceruleus (Abyssinia and 

 North Somaliland). 



G7. Index to the ' Hand-list of Birds.' 



[Geueral Index to a TIand-list of the Genera and Species of Birds 

 (Nonienclator Avium turn fossilium turn viventium), Volume V. 

 Edited by W. II. Ogilvie-Grant. London, 1911. 8vo. pp. 199.] 



No greater boon could have been offered to working 

 ornithologists than this volume, which is a fifth and final 

 adjunct to the ' Hand-list of Birds ^ of the late Dr. Bowdler 

 Sharpe. It contains a complete Index to all the generic 

 and specific names used in Ornithology contained in the 

 four volumes of the Hand-list, with a reference to each 

 page at which they are to be found. This enables the user 

 to find the required reference by searching one Index instead 

 of four, and saves the student much time and impatience. 

 This laborious task has been undertaken and executed by 

 Mr. Thomas Wells, Mr. Ogilvie-Grant' s chief attendant, to 

 whom all ornithologists should be duly grateful, not omitting 

 to thank Mr. Ogilvie-Grant for his superintendence of the 

 work, and the Keeper of Zoology for sanctioning it.
