new possessions among tlie islands of the ^gean Sea, and 

 Dr. Festa, during a recent excursion to the Island of Rhodes, 

 has made a collection of some 334 birds, representing alto- 

 gether 107 species. Except for the late Mr. C. G. Danford, 

 who, during his wanderings in Asia Minor, ma4e short 

 excursions to this island (see 'Ibis/ 1880, p. 82), no other 

 naturalist seems to have visited Rhodes. 



Count Salvadori states that the facies of the avifauna of 

 this island is decidedly European, but lie has been able to 

 discover two birds which he considers worthy of specific 

 distinction — we must remember that Count Salvadori does 

 not hold with subspecies ; these are the Jay and the Robin, 

 which he here describes as Garrulus rhodius and Erithacus 

 xanthothoraw.

A list of the titles of Count Salvadori's papers and works 

 sent to us contains 320 titles. The first, dated 1863, is a 

 letter addressed to ' The Ibis ' for that year " on some Italian 

 birds.^^ Almost all the others deal with ornithological 

 questions, and give a vivid idea of the remarkable output of 

 work in ornithology accomplished by our revered Italian 

 colleague. 



Shufeldt on fossil birds.

At Florissant, in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, 

 there are some exceedingly interesting Tertiary deposits of 

 Oligocene age, in which have been found very large numbers 

 of well-preserved remains of the land fauna and flora of 

 those times. 



These beds have long been known to American palaeonto- 

 logists, and of late years have yielded a rich harvest to 

 Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of the State University of Colorado.
