— The Kansas Academy of Science has 

 issued a third edition of Prof. Snow's list 

 of the birds of Kansas. According to the 

 list the State claims 294 species. 



— The Central City Club of Syracuse, 

 N. Y., has again been successful in win- 

 ning the famous Dean Richmond cup. 



— The third bulletin of the National 

 Museum contains an interesting account of 

 a singular bird called the Sheath-bill or 

 Chionis minor by Drs. Coues and Kidder. 

 This bird forms a character whose identity 

 of position has hitherto been undetermined, 

 but it is found upon investigation to hold 

 an intermediary position between the Gidls 

 and Plovers. The bird characterizes an 

 ancient type, of which itself is a remnant. 

 The investigations included the conditions 

 of its residence, Avhich was isolated and 

 quite unpropitious of any variation.
