AVES. 
53 
A most carefully elaborated work on tliat part of England 
which has probably the richest ornis (Zool. llccord^ i. p. 45). 
The introduction describes at some length the general features 
of tlie county, and the changes which have been produced in its 
avifauna of late^j^ears, chiefly through improved agricultural 
practice. This volume (extending to the end of Gallinai) con- 
tains an account of 142 species, which, in their relation to the 
district, are very fully dwelt upon.

In continuation of the articles noticed last year (Zool. llecord, 
ii. pp. 67, 68). Part III. treats of the Corvidcs and so-called 
Fissh'ostres^^ of the country ; Part IV. of the Scansores^’ and 
some of the deritirostal Passeres, into which are introduced the 
Alaudida* The most remarkable fact mentioned, perhaps, is the 
identification of Motacilla lugubris, Temm. (nec M. lugens seu 
lugubriSj Temm. & Schleg.), with M. vidua, Sundevall. Capru 
mulgus tamaricis forms the subject of the plate.

Twenty-nine species occur in the district, of Avhich seA'.en are resident, 
five come to breed, elei'en are winter visitants, and six are met Avith occa- 
sionally. The remarks upon them seem to contain no very novel infor- 
mation.

The ornis of this island, Avhich is an intermediate link be- 
tween Fernando Po and San Thome, does not seem to have been 
previously examined, and proves to be interesting. Not a 
single bird of prey exists upon it, though they are abundant on 
the other two islands in the Bight of Benin. Of the thirty-four 
species noticed six are neAv. These are described by Dr. Hart- 
* Cf. infra Keulemans, J. G.”
