This is a contribution to that excellent piece of work, 
Reiser's ^ Ornis Baleanica/ which is now approaching com- 
pletion, and gives an account of the author's travels in 
Montenegro and the adjoiniog countries in pursuit of a 
better knowledge of their birds. The appended list of 
species met with in Montenegro and on the Albanian 
frontiers contains 256 names. Amongst them are Accipiter 
brevipes Severzow, Gypaetits barbatus, and Anser neglectus 
Suschkin.

Good progress is novr being made with the " Aves '' of the 
' Biologia Centrali- Americana,' and three more portions have 
been issued since our last notice (Ibis, 1901, p. 501). In 
these the Accipitres are finished, and the succeeding Orders 
Steganopodes and Herodiones are treated. 
12. Goeldi on the Birds of Amazonia.

Our ever active friend Dr. Goeldi is issuing a supplement 
to his ^ Aves do Brazil' (see Ibis, 1901, p. 501), containing a 
series of coloured figures of the more prominent Amazonian 
birds ; of this the first part is now before us. It contains 
twelve plates, painted in colours, which give represcDtations 
of groups of species of the diff'erent families that frequent the 
mighty river and its vicinity. The figures are mostly well 
drawn and are coloured with quite sufficient accuracy to 
render the species recognisable. We have no doubt that 
Dr. Goeldi's work will do much to promote the study of our 
favourite science in South America.
