This makes another addition to the rapidly increasing 

 number of Ornithological periodicals. It is published at 

 Kief in south-west Russia and is in the Russian tougne, 

 though the title-page and table of contents are also in French 

 and tliere is a short summary of two out of the three 

 articles in the same ]an":uase, 



M. E. Charlemagne describes a new suhspecics of Oyster- 

 Catclier_, Hamatopus ostralegus horysthenicus, from the valley 

 of the Dnieper, differing from the typical form in its greater 

 size and longer beak and tarsus. In a second paper he 

 writes on the irruption of the Siberian Nutcracker {Nuci- 

 fraga caryocatactes macrorhynchus) in European Russia 

 during the autumn of 1911. The greater part of the 

 number, however, is occupied in a systematic account of the 

 Avifauna of Colchis and Adzaria, or Abkhasia as it is spelt 

 in English maps, a province lying on the southern sloj3es of 

 the Caucasus and between tho^e mountains and the Black 

 Sea.
