Recently published Ornithological Works. 369 
described in the ‘Daily Democrat’ of Grand Rapids for 
June 1, 1879, is not different from H. leucobronchialis, of 
which rare species, however, every additional example is of 
the greatest interest. 
57. Bureau on the Moulting of the Beak in Birds. 
[ Recherches sur la Mue du Bee des Oiseaux de la famille des Mormo- 
nidés. Par le Docteur Louis Bureau. Bull. Soc. Zool. France, 1879. ] 
A full account of this notable discovery, which should be 
read by all ornithologists. The phenomenon, first observed in 
Fratercula, is now shown to prevail through the allied genera 
Lunda, Chimerina, Ombria, and Simorhynchus, and enables 
us to discard several nominal species as being only seasonal 
forms. Sagmatorhina lathami=Lunda cirrhata; Sagmato- 
rhina suckleyi and Ceratorhyncha monocerata=Chimerina 
cornuta; Simorhynchus dubius and S. tetraculus=S. crista- 
tellus ; and S. cassint= 8S. kamtschaticus. Six excellent plates 
are given to illustrate this important memoir.

Hr. Frenzel writes an enthusiastic chapter on the little 
Hanging Parrakeets of the genus Loriculus (sive Coryllis), of 
which some twenty species are now known, and on their 
habits in captivity. A good coloured lithograph is given of 
C. galyulus.
