 The TrogJodytidae have no additions, but a species already- de- 

 scribed is more accurately defined, and the several species are 

 rearranged and their distribution outlined. L. J. 



Report of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, for the 

 Protection of Birds, 234 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass. 

 This active society for the protection of birds numbers 5362 

 members, only 1076 of whom are under sixteen years of age. 

 From this it will be clear that the people of Massachusetts are 

 in earnest about the protection of their native birds. Their 

 activity is well evidenced by the annual expenditures, which 

 run .all the way from $1,223.00 to $1,952. CO. From this report we 

 discover no evidence that the movement is in any way an 

 hysterical one, but rather a sober effort to accomplish a much 

 needed reform in the popular attitude toward the birds. We 

 are also pleased to note that in the United States outside of 

 Massachusetts there are twenty-seven state societies endeavor- 

 ing to do the same work. "While the nature of our scientific 

 work with the birds debarrs us from taking the ironclad Audu- 

 bon pledge, we can nevertheless heartily endorse the object of 

 the Audubon organization. L. J. 



North American Fauna, No. 22, By Edward A. Preble, As- 

 sistant Biologist, U. S. Department of Agriculture. October 

 31, 1902. 



Among the contents of this number we find an annotated list 

 of the birds of the Hudson Bay region. The whole number is 

 devoted to an account of an expedition fitted out for a biological 

 exploration of this resion by the Biological Survey, in 1900. The 

 birds listed number 260 species and subspecies, representing all 

 that is known for the r.egion to the close of the exppdition. This 

 indicates the richness of the region and the possibilities open to 

 one who might spend several years on the ground. Lists of the 

 Mammals and Batrachians are also given. L. J.

 aguay. By Harrv C. Oberholser. From the Proceedings of 

 the U. S. National'Museum, Vol. XXV, pages 127-147, No. 1281. 

 This collection, though small, is of more than usual interest. 

 It consists of 78 specimens, representing 65 species and subspec- 

 ies, several of which appear to be heretofore unrecorded from 

 Paraguay. The descriptions of four species and three subspecies 

 are here "given. The annotations are almost wholly descriptive 

 of the birds. L J.
