Placostomus (Platyrhynchus superciliosus), Cnemarchus 
(Tenioptera erythropyyia), Orodynastes (Tenioptera striatt- 
collis), Tyrannopsis (Muscicapa  sulphurea), Tolmarchus 
(Tyrannus taylori), Pheotriccus (Cnipolegus hudson), Allo- 
cotopterus (Pipra deliciosa), Stictornis (Ampelis cinctus), 
Idiotrichus (Pogonotriccus zeledoni), LElainopsis (Elainea 
elegans), Microtriccus (Tyrannulus semiflavus), and Hylonax 
(Myiarchus validus). 
The first ten of these genera are referred to the Tyrannide, 
- Allocotopterus to the Pipridee, and the remaining five to the 
Cotingide. 
We are not satisfied that all these forms deserve generic 
rank. For instance, Pipra deliciosa is, in our opinion, quite 
unnecessarily removed from Macheropterus (cf. Cat. B. B. M. 
xiv. p. 805), of which it has the structure in every respect, 
except that the abnormal characters of the remiges i the 
adult male are more highly developed. We should certainly 
not adopt the genus Allocotopterus.

This journal has been highly favoured by the contribution 
of the three excellent articles which Mr. Eagle Clarke has 
written on the collection of birds made by the ‘Scotia’ 
in the Antarctic Seas. We are sure that they have been 
much appreciated by all ornithologists. 
We have now before us the uarrative of the Scottish 
Antarctic Expedition, prepared by “‘ Three of the Staff”— 
Messrs. Rudmose-Brown, Mossman, and Harvey Pirie, and 
have no doubt that ornithologists will be pleased with this 
book also, as it contains frequent references to birds and 
many illustrations of their strange ways in the South Polar 
Seas. The Penguins are, of course, the prominent group, and 
are appeciated, not only as a strange form of bird-life, but 
also for the high value of their flesh. It is even suggested 
that “it would be well worth while” to establish Penguin-
