15. Lonnbery on the Birds of the Island of South Georgia.

Biological Notes on Vertebrates. By Kinar Linnberg. With 12 plates

This memoir gives an account of the birds collected in 
the Antarctic island of South Georgia by Mr. Erik Sérling, 
a Taxidermist of the Natural History Museum of Stockholm, 
who was sent out to join Capt. Larsens’s whaling-station on 
that island, and remained there from November 1904 to 
September 1905. The bird-lhfe of South Georgia had been 
previously well investigated by the German Expedition of 
1882-3 and the Swedish Expedition of 1902, but Sérling’s 
collections and observations have added at least one species 
to the list of breeders and have supplied us with much 
fresh information. His field-notes are ample and of much 
interest. 
The Avifauna of South Georgia is now known to consist 
of about 29 species, inciuding occasional stragglers. The 
only Passerine bird is a Pipit (Anthus antarcticus). The 
Penguins obtained by Sorling were Pygoscelis antarctica, 
P. papua, and Aptenodytes patachonica, all of which breed 
in the island, P. papua being the most common. The Cor- 
morant of South Georgia is designated as a new subspecies 
under the name Phalacrocorax atriceps georgianus.

(Notes on Birds collected in Mindoro and in small adjacent Islands.

1906. ] 
The scientific papers of the “‘ Bureau of Science” of the 
Philippine Government are now collected together and 
published as ‘The Philippine Journal of Science.’ The sixth 
number of vol. i. of this Journal, which we have lately 
received, contains an ornithological paper by Mr. McGregor, 
of which we have given the title above. It is an account of 
the specimens collected by Dr. E. H. Porter on the coast 
of Mindoro and on some small adjacent islands, amongst
