Professor Chr. Fr. Liitken, of the Uiiiversitetets Zoologiske 

 Museum, Copenhagen, again forwards a list of birds killed 

 against the lighthouse of Stevns, on the projecting part of 

 Zealand, marking the limit between the Baltic and Oresund. 

 The list has been drawn up by Mr. Autander, a physician living 

 in the neighbourhood of the lighthouse. In forwarding the list, 

 Mr. Autander observes that he has every reason to think it very 

 incomplete, as the interest bestowed upon it by the officers of 

 the lighthouse is rather indifferent ; all birds fit to be eaten are 

 probably disposed of in this way, and do not always come under 

 his observation.
