Mr. E-utliven Dearie's contribution of the unpublished letters 
of William Macgillivray to xludubon deserves attention on 
this side of the Atlantic. Messrs. Bangs and Bradlee give 
a list of the birds of Bermuda, and describe three island 
forms which they consider to be worthy of full specific 
distinction. As an outlier, Bermuda has been visited by 
several wanderers from the Old World, and long ago 
Col. H. W. Feilden recorded the Lapwing there, but now 
Vanellus vulgaris has travelled still further to the south-west 
and has been obtained near Nassau, Bahamas. In Mr. A. 
C. Bent''s first instalment of a paper, with photogravures, 
on the nesting-habits of the Anatidse in North Dakota, all 
the specie^ mentioned are on the British list. Mr. Oatram 
Bangs gives a list of birds obtained in the vicinity of 
Chiriqui, with several new species which may be left to the 
recorder of '' Aves " in our ^ Zoological Record.' A paper by 
H. Lyman Clark on the Classification of Birds, based on 
pterylosis, deserves the attention of experts; and if the 
demands on our space would permit we might quote his 
conclusions (p. 380), but an abstract would hardly do them 
justice. A valuable paper, by Mr. W. A. Bryan, on Hawaiian 
birds, will interest all those ornithologists who study geo- 
graphical distribution and lines of migration. We must 
not omit to mention that pp. 295-320 contain the Tenth 
Supplement to the A. O. U. Check-list. — H. S. 
5. Bernacchi on Antarctic Birds. 
[To the South Polar Regions, expedition of 1898-1900. By Louis 
Bernacchi, F.R.G.S. London : Hurst and Blackett, 1901. Price 12s. net.] 
No one interested in Antarctic Research should fail to read 
Mr. Bernacchi^s narrative of his experiences with Borchgrer 
vink^s expedition of 1898-1900, which he accompanied as 
Physicist. The author does not claim to be an ornith- 
ologist, but there are necessarily constant references to birds 
throughout his pages, while several excellent photographs 
of Penguins and Penguin-life are given. His account of 
the curious ways and habits of the Antarctic Penguin 
[Pygosceles adelice) is the best and most complete that has
