[Singulare cattura di una specie orientale del g-enei'e " Ardetta" nuova 

 per rifcalia e per I'Europa. T. Salvadori. Riv. Ital. Orn. ii. 1912, 

 pp. 86-88, tav. i.]

 Borneo. It has not hitherto been taken in Europe. A 

 description and coloured plate accompany the note. 



Salvadori and Festa on the Sardinian Jay. 

 [La Ghiandaia di Sardegna. T. Salvadori ed E. Festa. Riv. Ital. 

 Oru. ii. 1912, pp. 113-116.] 



The Sardinian Jay already rejoices in two names, Garrulus 

 ichnusa Kleinschmidt, and G, glandarius sardus Tschusi, 

 It is said to differ from the continental and typical race by 

 its slightly smaller size, especially as regards the beak. 



Count Salvadori and Signor Festa have recently compared 

 a long series collected by the latter in Sardinia with a 

 number of typical Italian examples, and have come to the 

 conclusion that there is no ground for distinguishing the 

 Sardinian race, and in this they are at one with two other 

 Italian Ornithologists — Count Arrigoni degli Oddi and 

 Signor Martorelli.
