328 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



France ought not to remain unnoticed in 'The Ibis/ and the 

 first two vohimes of it are now complete. They are edited 

 by MM. L. Deuise and A. Menegaux. Among the more 

 important papers are an essay on the Birds of Cuba and an 

 article on a collection from Bolivia by M. Menegaux, and a 

 complete list of the Humming-birds of Ecuador by M. E. 

 Simon. The last-named paper records the existence of 

 152 species of Trochilid?e in Ecuador, among which is one 

 considered as new and described as Prasites vitticeps, while 

 Apliantochroa hyposticta of Gould is made the type of a 

 new genus [Taphrospilus). 



Scottish Naturalist. 



[The Scottish Naturalist, Sept.-Dec. 1912.] 



The four numbers of the Scottish Naturalist do not 

 contain any articles of very special ornithological interest. 

 Mr. Eagle Clarke gives an account of a very remarkable 

 wild-killed hybrid, whose parents seem to have been a Wild 

 Duck and an Eider. It was shot, on the island of Auskerry 

 in the Orkney group, by Mr. Laidlaw, and is illustrated by 

 a photograph. In the October number Mr. 11. Somerville 

 gives some account of the first occurrence of the Little Owl 

 (Athene noctmi) in Scotland, where it was shot at East 

 Grange in Fifeshire in November 1910. The bird is not 

 a native of Great Britain, and may not improbably have been 

 introduced. Mr. Landsborough Thomson continues his 

 report on the Aberdeen bird-migration enquiry, giving a 

 detailed list of all the ringed birds which have been re- 

 captured and recorded.
