A careful abstract of, and commentary on, the ornithological 
labours of the deceased naturalist, including identifications, more 
or less precise, of several species (particularly of the families 
PicidcBj Formicariida, CoarebidcB, Timaliidcs, Laniida, Campe- 
phagidai, Turdidce, and Sjjlviida) described by him as new. A 
species of Alaudida* is for the first time separated as new.

The conclusion of M. Olph-Galliard’s translation before no- 
ticed (Zool. Record, ii. p. 55, iii. p. 45, iv. p. 44) . A consider-

We have not seen this work ; but from the mention made of it, 
in anticipation, by Dr. Hartlaub (Bericht u. s. w. pp. 164, 165) 
we imagine that it is as much of a psychological as of an ornitho- 
logical nature. [6/. F. C. Noll, Zool. Garten, 1868, p. 159 ; 
A. & K. Muller, Journ. fiir Orn. 1868, pp. 265-284, 340-352.]

A popularly written work, with, in some cases, pretty wood- 
cuts. The three plates of eggs are by Badeker, and are good 
examples of that oologisFs style. [Cf. Journ. fiir Orn. 1868, 
pp. 58-65.]

We can only indicate the systematic arrangement adopted by 
the author. He divides the class Aves (pp. 191-368) into 
Orders and Families, as follows : — 
I. PsiTTACi: (1) Plictolophinoi, (2) SUtacinoi, (3) Psittacinoiy 
(4) Trichoglossinaiy (5) StrigopirKS, 
II. CoccYGOMORPiiyE : (1) Phamphastidoi, (2) Capitonidm, (3)
