160 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



3. Anatomical. 



H. L. Clark has some valuable contributions on the 

 anatomy aiid systematic relationships of various genera. In 

 his first contribution (pp. 11-15) lie discusses the characters 

 of Rhodiiiocichla rosea eoeimia Ridgvvay from Panama. It 

 Avas regarded by Sharpe (Brit. Mus. Cat. 1881) as one of 

 the Miminse and by Ridgway as an aberrant Mniotiltid. 

 Mr. Clark considers that it is on the whole most nearly 

 allied to Mitros^nngus, and should be placed with the 

 Tanagers. 



In a second paper (pp. 262-267) are given anatomical 

 notes on Saltator, Chlorophonin, and Euphonia. He regards 

 the first as a finch allied to Fipilo, the second as "having 

 no special relationship to the Tanagers/"" while Euphonia 

 diffei's considerably from Chlorophonia, and seems to " ap- 

 proach some of the Coerebidse.''^ 



The third paper (pp. 402- 406) deals with the anatomy 

 and relationships of Todus, Oxyruncus, and Spindalis. 



It is to be hoped that Mr. Clark will continue these 

 valuable researches on a subject so much neglected by most 

 systematic ornithologists. 



4. Migration. 



Witmer Stone has reprinted with comments (pp. 325-358^ 

 pis, ix.-xi.) the interesting calendar kept by Wm. Baitram, 

 of Philadelphia, from 1802-1822, in which are recorded the 

 arrival of migrants in his garden^ which though then in the 

 country is now within the city limits^ and is preserved as a 

 public park under the name of Bartram^s garden. Mr. Stone 

 has rearranged the entries in the diary in systematic order, 

 and illustrates his paper with a portrait of Bartram and a 

 sketch of his house still standing in the garden. 



Other papers on migration are by H. H. Cleaves (pp. 248- 

 261) on " bird-banding^' or bird marking in the United 

 States; by W. W. Cooke (pp. 205-221) on the connection 

 and relation of migration and weather conditions ; and by 

 J. C. Phillips (pp. 191-204) on the periodic accuracy of 

 bird-migration.
