The name " Papuan " is perhaps a better designation for 

 the Austro-Malayan Subregion of Wallace, and New Zealand 

 and its adjacent islands may be appropriately called the

The American naturalists continue their successful in- 

 vestigations of the Ornithology of the Philippines {cf. 'Ibis/ 

 190 f, p. 042). In the first of these articles Mr. McGregor 

 gives an account of his researches in the little-known Romblon 

 group, which he visited in May 1904, with the result oH 

 adding 25 species to the list of its birds, those previously 

 known from Prof. Worcester's exploration having amounted 

 to 88. Of the 25 accessions two are described as new under 

 the names of Otis romblonis and Loriculus boumsi, the latter 

 having been previously united to L. regulus. flood field- 

 notes and other remarks are given, and the large nesting- 

 mound of Megapodius cumingi is described and figured. The 

 nesting-habits of Salangana (intell. Collocalia) marg in at a are 

 also described ami the eggs figured. 



In the second paper additional notes are given on some of 

 the birds mentioned in previous articles. Tachornis pallidior 

 from Luzon and jEtliopyga rubrinota from Lubang are 

 described as new, and very interesting details are given as 

 to the nesting-habits of the Panini Hornbill {Penelopides 

 panini) and of two species of small Swifts, Salangana (i. e., 

 Collocalia) linchi and S. whiteheads. The nesting-hole of the 

 Hornbill, shewing the " cakes " by which the female is barred 

 in, is figured, and a full account of this very singular habit
