  The 
  40th 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  Bulletin 
  of 
  the 
  U.S. 
  National 
  

   Museum 
  is 
  occupied 
  by 
  a 
  very 
  thoroughly 
  compiled 
  index 
  to 
  

   the 
  published 
  writings 
  of 
  ^Mr, 
  G. 
  N. 
  Lawrence, 
  of 
  Xew 
  York, 
  

   the 
  Nestor 
  of 
  American 
  ornithologists. 
  This 
  is 
  prefaced 
  by 
  

   a 
  biographical 
  sketch 
  and 
  portrait 
  of 
  our 
  much-esteemed 
  

   Foreign 
  Member, 
  now 
  nearly 
  87 
  years 
  of 
  age. 
  His 
  first 
  

   ornithological 
  paper 
  was 
  written 
  in 
  1844, 
  and 
  his 
  last 
  in 
  1891. 
  

   Altogether, 
  his 
  memoirs 
  are 
  121 
  in 
  number. 
  In 
  tbe 
  case 
  of 
  

   all 
  these, 
  besides 
  the 
  full 
  title, 
  Mr. 
  Foster 
  gives 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  

   species 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  every 
  paper, 
  and 
  the 
  pages 
  at 
  which 
  

   they 
  are 
  mentioned. 
  This 
  is 
  followed 
  by 
  an 
  alphabetical 
  list 
  

   of 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  and 
  subspecies 
  described 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Lawrence, 
  

   323 
  in 
  all, 
  which 
  will 
  be 
  very 
  useful 
  to 
  the 
  working 
  orni- 
  

   thologist. 
  The 
  genus 
  Lawrencia 
  of 
  Ridgway, 
  of 
  the 
  family 
  

   Tyrannidai, 
  is 
  called 
  after 
  his 
  name, 
  besides 
  which 
  19 
  species, 
  

   instituted 
  by 
  various 
  authors, 
  bear 
  the 
  specific 
  term 
  " 
  lau)- 
  

   rencii." 
  Few 
  of 
  our 
  craft, 
  indeed, 
  have 
  accomplished 
  such 
  

   long 
  and 
  good 
  service 
  in 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  Science.

  Since 
  we 
  last 
  noticed 
  this 
  work, 
  nearly 
  seven 
  years 
  ago, 
  

   considerable 
  progress 
  has 
  been 
  made, 
  parts 
  28-.o0 
  having 
  

   been 
  issued 
  ; 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  not 
  without 
  hopes 
  that 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   brought 
  ultimately 
  to 
  a 
  conclusion 
  within 
  a 
  reasonable 
  

   period. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  a 
  j^reat 
  satisfaction 
  to 
  the 
  subscribers, 
  and 
  

   no 
  doubt 
  to 
  Professor 
  Giglioli 
  also, 
  to 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  arrange 
  the 
  

   plates 
  and 
  bind 
  up 
  the 
  volumes. 
  The 
  figures 
  of 
  the 
  ' 
  Icono- 
  

   grafia,' 
  though 
  not 
  always 
  above 
  criticism, 
  are 
  mostly 
  well 
  

   drawn 
  and 
  nicely 
  coloured, 
  and 
  render 
  the 
  species 
  easily 
  recog-
