wliicli are divided into some 20 sections. Pseudozosterops 
comprises only 3 species, from the Sunda Islands^ andLoj^^o- 
zosterops only 2, from the same part of the world. 
The Zosteropidse are spread over the greater part of the 
tropical portion of the Old World, extending from Sene- 
gambia to the Fijis, and from Japan (Z. japonica) and 
Amoorland (Z. erythropleura) on the north to Tasmania and 
New Zealand on the south. Dr. Finsch considers them to 
be a family of nine-primaried Oscines allied to the Dicseidse 
and Mniotiltidse.

and excellently illustrated account of the Masai of British 
East Africa, among whom the former has been '^ Resident and 
Collector^' for several years. The Masai^have now ^^ fallen 
from their high estate^^ and are japidly dwindling in numbers, 
so that INIr. and IVTrs. Hinde have done a good deed in 
recording, before it was too late, their most extraordinary 
habits and customs. ]\lr. Hinde also gives us ''^ Field-Notes
