Finsch, O. On a Colleetion of Birds from North-Eastern 
^ Abyssinia and the Bogos Country. With notes by the 
collector, W. Jesse. Tr. Z. S. vii. pp. 197-331, pis. 24-27 j 
■with a map. 
Mr. Jesse was zoologist to the Abyssinian Expedition, but 
was unable to follow the army into the interior. However, he 
joined Mr. Blanford (as above mentioned) in an excursion to 
the Bogos Country, where he formed the collection of which Dr. 
Finsch treats. It containecl/^21 species, two of which (belong- 
ing to Laniidoi and AlauaiBce) are described as new. In 
an appendix Mr. Jesse's ^Report,' noticed last year (Zool. 
Bee. vi. p. 40), is reprinted, and a second appendix contains some 
supplementary remarks, and gives a list of the species (101) 
obtained by Mr. Blanford, but not by Mr. Jessery

*^Four parts of this work appeared during the yea^ and equal 
in merit those already noticed (Zool, Bee. vi. p. 40). The 
synonymy is carefully treated, and the excellent Latin diagnoses 
are worthy of all praise. The plates are fairly executed, and it 
is a pity that they are not publislied with the letterpress to 
which they refer.
