Society of London, from Animals in their Vivarium in the 
Eegent’s Park. Edited, with Notes, by P. L. Sclater. 
Second series. Parts i.-viii. London : 1865. Folio. 
The second series of this magnificent work shows in a more 
striking manner than ever the extraordinary skill of Mr. Wolf, 
both as artist and zoologist. The subjects have been well se- 
lected by Mr. Sclater, and the temporary letterpress which 
accompanies them contains explanatory notices judiciously 
compiled. The following are the birds represented : — 
PtilojiorhyncJms holosericeus, Gallophasis vieilloti, Talegalla lathamij Balmni- 
ceps rex, Aquila ncevia, Struthio camelus, juv., Oci/dromus australis, Casarca 
Icucoptera, Ceriornis satyra, JRhmochetusJuhatus, and Chlocphaga magellanica. 
The first series of this work, which was completed in 1861, contained 
figures of Falco sacer, F. grcenlandicus, F. islandicus, Gypohierax angolensis, 
Fhasianus torquatus, P. versicolor, Gallophasis horsjieldi, Tetraogallus caspius, 
Galloperdix lunulosa, Rhea americana, Casuarius hennetti. Apteryx mantelli, 
Otis tarda, Grus montignesia, Mycteria australis, Cygnus nigricollis, and Chloe- 
phaga polioccphala.

This very luxurious work, which we believe to be published at 
the expense of the Counts Turati, will sufficiently commend 
itself to Italian ornithologists, though it does not appear to con- 
tain much of interest to the general student. The illustrations 
represent the species depicted at their nests, which contain either 
eggs or young, generally the latter.

It contains (pp. 6-13) a list of the birds of the neighbourhood 
of Lillehammer in the south of Norway, and one (pp. 54-64) of 
those appearing at Dovre. Neither contains anything of more 
than local interest. (Gf, Ibis, 1866, p. 212.)
