read with interest by every naturalist. Many allusions to 
birds will be found interspersed in his narrative. The nest-

cobar group), have not been previously observed. In the ap- 
pendix are given some notes on the birds of the area be- 
tween the Ganges and Godavari rivers, and on those of the 
Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 
35. Coues’s American Ornithological Bibliography. 
[Second Instalment cf American Ornithological Bibliography. By Dr. 
Elliott Coues. Bull. U.S. Geol. & Geogr. Surv. vol. v. no. 2.] 
Dr. Coues’s second instalment contains the titles of all 
ornithological works and papers specially relating to the 
Neotropical region, ‘all general and miscellaneous works, 
and all those upon particular species, genera, or families of 
birds, being excluded.” Many most useful notes and com- 
ments are given, besides the names of newly described species, 
and of those figured. The titles are arranged chronologically ; 
but an alphabetical index of authors and localities is added. 
There can be no question as to the value of this most labo- 
rious and most useful piece of work, which seems to have 
been executed in the most conscientious manner.
