Recently published Ornithological Works. 641 
volumes of ¢ Proceedings of the Berwickshire Naturalists’ 
Club’ from 1831 to the present day. The author may fairly 
claim a better knowledge of the south of Northumberland, 
where he resides, and of the special sport of wild-fowling ; 
but his acquaintance with the North-eastern Borderland 
leaves something to be desired, and is by no means so 
thorough as that of Dr. George Johnston and his successors, 
while the fact that the earliest of Field Clubs finds nowadays 
less scope for its ornithological energies serves but to shew 
how much it has accomplished in time past. 
93. Clark on new Birds from Eastern Asia. 
[Eighteen new Species and one new Genus of Birds from Eastern Asia 
and the Aleutian Islands. By Austin H. Clark. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 
Xxxli. p. 467. ] 
This paper is based mainly on a series of 554 skins obtained 
by the late Mr. P. L, Jouy during a residence of over three 
years in Corea, which are said to form the most important 
collection ever made in that country. Mr. Clark was allowed 
to make use of it in connection with his work on the ornitho- 
logica] results of a recent cruise of the U.S. Fisheries’ 
Steamer ‘Albatross’ in the Northern Pacific. Besides estab- 
lishing a new genus Tisa (type Lmberiza variabilis Temm.), 
Mr. Clark characterizes as new the following species and 
subspecies :— 
Ardea cinerea jouyi (Corea), Phasianus karpowit buturlint 
(Tchusima), Lagopus japonicus (Hondo), L. rupestris cham- 
berlaini (Adak Island, Aleutians), Asalon regulus insignis 
(Corea), Cerchneis perpallida (Corea), Bubo tenuipes (Corea), 
Syrnium ma (Corea), Syrnium uralense japonicum (Hokkaido), 
S. u. hondoense (Hondo), Dryobates leucotos coreensis (Corea), 
D. 1, ussurianus (Siberia), Gecinus canus griseo-viridis 
(Corea), Pericrocotos cinereus intermedius (Corea), Olbior- 
chilus fumigatus peninsule (Corea), O. f. amurensis (Amoor), 
Remiz (!) consobrinus suffusus (Corea), and Acredula trivir- 
gata magna (Corea). 
Some of these “ subspecies ”’ appear to us to be based on 
very slender characters, and salon regulus insignis is 
founded upon a single specimen in “ juvenile plumage.”
