This is a useful list of scientific memoirs and papers of

ornithology of the Portuguese possessions in Africa. The 
titles of 177 publications are given (1857-1901) and ex-

43. Blanford on the Distribution of Indian Animals, 
[The Distribution of Vertebrate Animals in ludia, Ceylon, and Burma. 
By W. T. Blanford, F.R.S. PhD. Trans. Royal Soc. ser. B, vol. 194, 
pp. 335-436 (1901).] 
We have already mentioned this excellent and instructive 
memoir in allusion to the abstract of it published in the 
Royal Society^s ^Proceedings' (see Ibis, 1901, p. 723), and 
have not much to add on the present occasion. The con- 
clusions arrived at, after a careful study of the whole of the 
Vertebrate Fauna, are stated at the end, and are illustrated 
by a map in which the proposed divisions of the Indian 
Fauna are clearly shown.

[Das Problem des antarktischen Schopfungscentrums vom Standpunkt

Heft 67.] 
Prof. Burckhardt discusses at some length the question 
of the former existence of an Antarctic Continent from an 
ornithological point of view, and comes to the conclusion 
that the evidence on this subject, supposed to be provided by 
the Ratitse and their distribution, gives no support to the 
theory.
