Sheathbills were observed along with the birds already 
mentioned. Finally, it was noted at sea to the southward of 
the Orkneys on March 2lst in about 61° S.—its furthest 
south, 
In the Liverpool Museum (Bull. Liverpool Mus. ii. p. 48) 
there is a specimen of this bird which is said to have been 
shot on the Antarctic Continent in 78°S. by Dr. Gunn, who, 
strange to say, was afterwards proved never to have been 
there! (see ‘Ibis,’ 1895, p. 165, and ‘ Antarctic Manual,’ 
p- 234, footnote).

26. Angelini on a new Synallaxine Bird. 
[ Aphrastura fulva, nuova specie di Passeraceo appartenente ai Dendro- 
colaptidi Sinallaxini. Prof. Giovanni Angelini. Boll. Soc. Zool. Ital. (2) 
vi. p. 227 (1905).] 
Aphrastura fulva is based upon two specimens obtained at 
Ancud, in Chile, in 1884, now in the Zoological Museum of 
the University of Rome. It is apparently nearly allied to 
A. spinicauda, Aphrasturais a new name for Oxyurus, pro- 
posed by Oberholser (cf. Sharpe, Hand-l. i. p. 51). 
27. ‘ The Avicultural Magazine.’ 
[Avicultural Magazine. The Journal of the Avicultural Society. New 
Series. -Vol. v. Nos. 2-4, London: December 1906 to February 1907.] 
In these three numbers of the ‘ Avicultural Magazine’ 
we once more find items of considerable interest. Several 
species are recorded as having bred in captivity for the 
first time in Britain, among them the Pine-Grosbeak, the 
Jackal-Buzzard, and the White-eared Conure. They are 
reported by Mr. W. H. St. Quintin, Mr. J. H. Gurney, and 
Mr. E. J. Brook respectively. Mrs. Johnstone has also 
successfully reared a young specimen of Fraser’s Touraco ; 
and it is needless to say that in all these cases we find valu- 
able details given in respect to plumage, habits, and so forth.
