On a further collection of Mammals and f5irds from the hills of Nejiri 

 Sembilan. By H. C. Robinson, M.B.O.U., and C. Boden Kloss, M.B.O.U. 

 Ibid. pp. 61-57.] 



The first of these short papers deals with the fauna of 

 Gunoiig Kerban, a mountain in Perak^ near the Perak- 

 Kelantan boundary, which attains a height of 7170 ft., the 

 second highest elevation in the peninsula. This is the first 

 time any zoological collections have been made on this 

 mountain^ and they unfortunately proved to be of little 

 special interest, as the species found were almost entirely 

 identical with those in the Batang Padang mountains, about 

 40 miles farther south. Forty species are recorded. 



The second paper deals with further collections made in 

 the hills of Negri Sembilan, a state lying southwards from 

 Perak, whence 72 species are here noted. 



Salvadori and Festa on the Hawfinch of Sardinia. 



[Nuova specie di Frosone della Sardigna. T. Salvadori ed E. Festa, 

 Boll. Mus. Zool. Anat. comp. Torino, vol. xxxix, 1914, no. 681, pp. 1-2.] 



Count Salvadori proposes to distinguish the Hawfinch of 

 Sardinia under the name Coccotliraustes insularis, sp. n. It 

 has the underparts greyish brown with a rufous-brown 

 tinge and is slightly smaller than the typical mainland 

 form. 



Schalow on Milller's Calamoherpe brehmii. 



[Uber ''Calamoherpe Brehmii'' Miiller. Von Herman Schalow. 

 Journ. f. Ornith. 1914, pp. 104-110, pi. 3.] 



In this little paper Dr. Schalow elucidates the history of 

 an obscure little bird first described by Joh. Mat. Bechstein 

 in his " Gemeinniitzige Naturgeschiciite Deutschlands^' 

 (Leipzig 1795, p. 669), under the name of Motacilla fasciata-. 



The plate which is reproduced shows it to be a Keed- 

 Warbler with a curious narrow subterminal band of 

 orange-red across the tail-feathers. Bechstein states in his 

 description that he only once met with a single example, 

 and this in a secluded spot in the " Thiiringer-wald." It is 

 next mentioned by C. L. Brehm in his " Handbuch der
