articles (continued in ^‘The Ibis^ for 1867) must necessarily 
prove a most valuable aid. 
Bulger, G. E. List of Birds observed at Wellington, Ncil- 
gherry Hills, about 6000 feet above the level of the sea, 
during the montlis of April and May 1866. Proc. Zool. 
Soc. 1866, pp. 568^571. 
Forty species are noticed. 
Gould, John. The Birds of Asia. Part xviii. London : 
1866. Imp. folio. 
Many of the species here figured arc, of course, not ^Gndian,^^ 
but, in accordance with our former practice (Zool. Record, i. 
p. 50, and ii. p. 73), we here record the progress made in this 
magnificent work. 
Martens, Eduard von. Zusammenstellung der bekannten 
philippinischen Vogel. Journ. fur Orn. 1866, pp. 5-31. 
A very useful compilation on the little-known ornithology of 
this group of islands. Though the Philippines have been visited 
by so many naturalists, including the author himself, no list of 
their birds has ever been published; consequently the only in- 
formation respecting them has to be collected from the accounts 
of various voyages, and an examination of the specimens 
brought thence, which are to be found in sundry museums. ' The 
want of a list of Philippine birds is one that has long been felt, 
and Dr. von Marten’s paper has laid an admirable foundation 
for future investigators. One hundred and ninety-two species 
are given by our learned colleague; but there can be little 
doubt many more remain to be discovered or identified with the 
descriptions of old writers. Five undescribed species are named, 
all of which were collected by a recent traveller, Herr F. Jagor 
of Berlin, and are now in the museum of that capital. They 
are called Strix amaurota^ Gerygone modesta, Cisticola semiruftty 
Munia jagoriy and Uroloncha jagori ; and it is to be hoped that 
any otlier ornithologist describing them will retain these specific 
appellations. 
Norgate, W. a List of Birds observed at Sealkotc in the 
Punjaub. Zoologist, S. S. pp. 285-288. 
A nominal list of 139 species observed by the author, most of which are

The ornithological portion of this paper is at pp. 869-874. No new species 
are described, but several little-known ones are mentioned. ( Cf. Ibis, 1866,
