68. Taczanowski on the Birds of Askold Island. 
[Liste des Oiseaux recueillis par M. Jankowski dans Vile Askold (Mant- 
schourie). Par M.Taczanowski. Bull. Soc. Zool. d. France, 1878, p. 133. | 
Askold Island lies on the Mantchurian coast, in 42° 30! N. 
lat., not far from Wladiwostok. M. Jankowski obtained 
there representatives of 49 species, mostly summer migrants, 
amongst which were Eurystomus orientalis, Uragus sanguino- 
lentus, and Iungipicus scintilliceps, Swinhoe. The last-named 
species is a permanent resident. 
69. Wolf?s Visit to the Galapagos. 
[Kin Besuch der Galapagos-Inseln. Von Dr. Theodor Wolf. Samm- 
lung von Vortragen fiir das deutsche Volk. Bd.i. Heidelberg, 1879. | 
Dr. Wolf’s sketch of his visit to the Galapagos m August 
1875 contains many interesting details. Of the birds, how- 
ever, little is said, and Salvin’s memoir on the avifauna of 
the group (Trans. Zool. Soc. 1x. p. 447) is evidently un- 
known to him. At Post-office Bay, in Charles Island, Dr. 
Wolf met with the Penguin of the Galapagos (Spheniscus 
mendiculus, Sund.), which he considers an unknown species, 
and gives a description of as new.
