ornithologist's text-book. 47 



end of the volume are some excellent directions 

 for the stuffing of birds, which are the more valu- 

 able, as the author is well known to be almost un- 

 rivalled in the art of setting up ornithological 

 specimens. Mr. Waterton has lately communi- 

 cated to us several interesting particulars relative to 

 the Wanderings, but these we are not at liberty to 

 divulge. 



Waterton has also written several articles on the 

 habits of birds, in the Magazine of Natural His- 

 tory. Amongst others we particularly admire the 

 paper on the " Habits of the Barn Owl" Vol. V, 

 p. 9. 



Two Letters to Professor Jameson, by Charles 

 Waterton, Esq. 8vo. Wakefield. 1835. 



These we have been unable to procure ; Mr. 

 Waterton informs us that every copy disappeared 

 a few days after they were published. " The Pas- 

 senger Pigeon, the Vulture's power of smelling, 

 and a certain hurricane, are the chief subjects" of 

 the second letter. Mag. Nat. Hist., Vol. VIII, 

 p. 244. 



Ornitologia Toscana, by Dr. Savi. 1827. Pisa, 

 pp. 302. 



All that we know of this work is its title and time 

 of publication ; but it is probably by no means in- 

 dispensable to the Ornithologist.
