also a number of life-like and characteristic photographs by 

 Mr. H. Willford. The notes accompanying these are all 

 written by the editor^ Mr. W. T. Page, who has also com- 

 piled an interesting list of all the hybrids which have been 

 reared in captivity in England. 



Other articles are by Dr. Hopkinson, who continues his 

 notes on the birds of the Gambiaj and Mr. H. Whistler, who 

 sends an interesting photograph of an example of Gypaetus 

 barbatus, which he reared from a nest found in the Punjab 

 Salt Range in India, and which is now in the Zoological 

 Gardens. He also writes on the birds noticed by him when 

 travelling from Trieste to Bombay. Finally, the Hon. Mary 

 C. Hawke contributes some notes on the birds she saw in 

 the Argentine during a recent trip there. 



The Condor.

 the very beautiful reproductions of artistic photographs with 

 which it is illustrated. In this respect the ' Condor' stands

 Dawson, joint author of ' The Birds of Washington,' not the

 volume and several additional smaller text-figures illustrate 

 Mr. Dawson's great skill, and this is specially the case with 

 a very rare Wader {Aphriza virgata), whose breeding-range 

 still remains to be discovered, but which is occasionally to be 

 observed on the beach near Santa Barbara in California. In 

 the March- April number it is announced that Mr. Dawson, 

 with the help of other Calif ornian ornithologists, is preparing 

 a sumptuous work on the Birds of California, to be illus- 

 trated with coloured plates by a Mr. Allan Brooks, who is 

 a son of a well-known co-worker with the late Mr. Allan O.
