 Enrico Hillyer Giglioli, 1 vol. in 4 ., 518 pages, 

 Firenze 1891. 



These three volumes contain a very large number 

 of scientific and valuable information on the Italian 

 Avifauna. The first volume treats of the systematic 

 classification of all the species of birds found in Italy- 

 stationary or accidentally, otherwise with all the 

 vulgar names and observations made by the numerous 

 contributors who have assisted Dr. Giglioli in doing 

 the work. 



In Volume II. are stated the results of all the 

 observations made in each province. 



Vol. III. contains valuable informations on the 

 migration, nidification, alimentation, etc. of a large 

 quantity of species. 



It is quite extraordinary to learn that up to the 

 present, England and France have not published any 

 collective work of that kind, and it is to be hoped 

 that they will soon do so ; as it is useless to remind 

 these countries the importance of such a publica- 

 tion.
