and that textual references to the figures of the plates are still insuffi- 

 ciently explicit . . .Mr. Ingersoll has his subject well in hand now; he 

 confines himself strictly to the announced scope of the treatise, and 

 holds his subject fairly abreast of the information we have acquired re- 

 specting it— E. C, Bull. Null Orrdih. Club, Vol. V., pp. 38, 39, January,

Krider, John. — Forty Years' Notes of a Field Ornithologist, by John 

 Krider, Member of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences 

 and author of Krider's Sporting Anecdotes, Philadelphia. Giving 

 a description of all birds killed and prepared by him. Philadel- 

 phia, 1879, 8vo., pp. i-xi., 1-84. 



Mr. Krider has "endeavored to describe and give the history 



of only those species of birds of the United States " which he has "col- 

 lected and mounted," and whose nests have come under his personal 

 observation . . But a casual glance through the pages of his work is 

 enough to show that these opportunities have been sadly neglected . . . 

 In short, it is only too evident that Mr. Krider's "Motes" are the off- 

 spring of a fading memory rather than the carefully kept data of a sys- 

 tematic worker. . . .Of the literary execution of the present work we can 

 say nothing favorable. . . . — -W. B., Bull. Null. Ornith. Club, Vol. VII., pp. 

 49, 50, January, 1882.

 Arctic, being species that visited the ship while off Newfoundland and
