the rate of two parts every year. The plates, as regards beauty 
and finish, far exceed those in any other of the author^s well- 
known publications. The species illustrated will be found 
noticed under the groups to which they belong. A good deal 
of care has been bestowed on the letter-press, which is much 
more comprehensive than in the majority of Mr. Gould^s books. 
Figures of the nestlings of many of the species are also intro- 
duced, to an extent greater than in any otlier work of the kind 
with which we are acquainted, excepting perhaps Naumann^s

This report, extending over the two years 1862 and 1863, 
contains observations on the arrival and autumnal passage of 
migratory birds, with remarks on their time of breeding, the 
whole accompanied by meteorological statistics. The species 
observed for the first time breeding in the district were Cala- 
moherpe turdina in 1862, and in 1863 Picus minor and (Edi- 
cnemUs crepitans.

These are in continuation of a series of articles commenced 
by the author in the same periodical for 1863 (pp. 177-179, 
281-284, 334-336, 361-365). Not much important informa- 
tion is contained in them, but any facts showing the distribution 
and range of birds in France are not v^^ithout value.

The portion of the paper reprinted consists of general remarks 
on the character and more prominent features of the Icelandic 
avifauna, followed by an abstract of the author’s list of the 
species which compose it. Some errors in this last are corrected 
further on (pp. 8964 and 9038) .
