Tliese articles contain much information on the little-known 
ornis of Spain, from the author^s personal observation, he hav- 
ing revisited that country in the spring of 1865, though being 
obliged through illness to confine his researches on this occasion to 
the provinces of Old and New Castile. Having enjoyed unusual fa- 
cilities for exploring some of the royal domains, he was able to 
investigate the breeding-habits of many very interesting species, 
among them Cyanopica cookii, Oxylophus glandarius, 2 CH^ Aquila 
pennata. One of the most important facts he records is the ex- 
istence of Tetrao urogallus in Northern Spain.

This paper is a criticism on our own Notes on the Birds of 
Spitsbergen^^ (Zool. Record, ii. p. 66), and it consequently 
Avould be very difficult for us to give an impartial abstract of it. 
We think, however, we may fairly say that most of the points on 
which the author differs from us are of minor importance ; but 
we should prefer our readers judging for themselves to running 
the risk of unintentionally misrepresenting Dr. Malmgren, whose 
labours deserve the most careful consideration. The Spitzbergen 
Stercorarim, hitherto accounted S. parasiticus, is now considered 
specifically distinct and receives the name of >8. tephras ; and the 
common Somateria of the same region in like manner is called 
S. thulensis, ^
