As will be seen from the above, ornithologists in Great Britain have been very active, and 

 we are in fact overwhelmed with woi'ks on British Ornithology, besides which other works on 

 the same subject are projected. Professor Newton's edition of Yarrell's ' British Birds ' has 

 been completed by Mr. Howard Saunders, who has also published a most useful ' Manual of 

 British Birds ' in one volume ; Lord Lilford's ' Coloured Figures of British Birds ' contains 

 the best illustrations of British birds that have yet appeared, and is nearly finished, but, 

 unfortunately, the author has not lived to see it completed ; and at least two works on the nests 

 and eggs of our British birds, with large photographic illustrations, are in the press, of which, 

 so far as I can judge from the illustrations I have seen, the best is that by Mr. Oswin A. J. Lees, 

 ' Among British Birds in their Nesting Haunts,' of which the prospectus has only recently been 

 issued, and the first part of which will appear very shortly. 



On European ornithology, generally, no work has been published since 1881, except 

 Mr. James Backhouse's 'Handbook of European Birds' (small 8vo, London, 1891); and in 

 Scandinavia the most has been done by Prof. Eobt. Collett, of Christiania, who from time to 

 time issues additional notes on the ornithology of Norway. In Denmark several works have 

 been issued on local avifaunas ; and though I have not deemed it advisable to include in the 

 above list Mr. H. Winge's notes on birds which have been observed at the lighthouses in Denmark 

 (Vidensk. Medd. fra d. Naturh. Forening i Kjobenhavn, 1890-96), these articles contain many 

 interesting notes. ' Nordens Faglar,' which is being published at Stockholm, promises to be 

 an important work : based on Sundevall's ' Svenska Faglar,' it covers a larger area, including 

 Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and brings the ornithology of those countries well up 

 to date.
