LITERATURE REFERRING TO EXTINCT BIRDS. 



1903. M. Guillaume Grandidier. Contri- 

 bution a l'etude de l'Epiornis de 

 Madagascar. 



In : Comptes Rendus des Seances de l'Acad. 

 Sc., Paris 1903 (pp. 1-3 in separate copy.) 



1903. G. Grandidier. Note au sujet du 



squelette de V AePyornis ingens. 



In Bull. Mus. Paris 1903, pp. 318-323, with 

 figures. 



1903. Paul Carie. Observations sur 

 quelques oiseaux de File Maurice. 



In Ornis XII, p. 121-128. 



(We are informed that neither Palaeornis 

 echo — sub nomine eques — nor Nesoenas mayeri 

 are extinct.) 



1905. A. H. Clark. Extirpated West 

 Indian Birds. 



In Auk 1905, pp. 259-266. 



1905. A. H. Clark. The Lesser Antillean 

 Macaws. 



In Auk 1905, pp. 266-273. 



1905. A. H. Clark. The West Indian 

 Parrots. 



In Auk 1905, pp. 337-344. 



1905. A. H. Clark. The Greater Antillean 

 Macaws. 



In Auk 1905, pp. 345-348. 



1905-1906. Sir Walter Buller. Supple- 

 ment to the " Birds of New Zealand." 

 Two volumes. 



(Though containing very interesting notes on 

 extinct and threatened birds, these two volumes 

 are rather disappointing. They contain very 

 little that is new, and are mainly composed of 

 quotations from other people's writings or 

 letters. Buller's former great book on the 

 Birds of New Zealand was a most important 

 and creditable work, though not without short- 

 comings. Our knowledge of New Zealand 

 Birds might have been brought up to date in 

 his supplement, but we cannot say that this 

 has been done properly, and errors are 

 frequent.) 



1906. Baldwin Spencer. The King Island 

 Emu. 



In The Victorian Naturalist XXIII (1906), 

 pp. 139, 140. 



(Dromaius minor described.) 



1907. Walter Rothschild. On Extinct 

 and Vanishing Birds. A short Essay 

 on the Birds which have presumably 

 become extinct within the last 500 

 years, and also of those birds which 

 are on the verge of extinction, includ- 

 ing a few which, though not yet so 

 far gone, are threatened with extinc- 

 tion in the near future. 



In Proceed, of the IV Intern. Ornith. 

 Congress, London 1905, pp. 191-217.
