xxxviii. p. 61. 
Nine species of birds are added to the list published in 1853, 
of which Caprimulgus ruficolUs alone seems worthy of remark 
here-.

du gouvernement d^Orel. Bull. Soc. Imp. Moscou, 1864, 
part i. pp. 452-464. 
About 176 species are mentioned ; but the catalogue is little 
more than a nominal one, and none but well-known species are 
included.

Bull. Soc. Vaud. viii. pp. 146-148. 
The author^s observations have reference to the dates of ap- 
pearance of migratory birds in the year 1862, and also to the 
occurrence of several species not commonly met with in the 
district, but nothing of very general interest is brought forward.

This paper contains a description of the island, and a list of 
the thirty-four birds which breed upon it, followed by one of the 
hundred and thirty-nine species which visit it. The particulars 
only possess local interest.

This is a reprint, with many emendations, of a ^ List of the 
Birds of the Island of Crete^ by the author (then Captain Drum- 
mond), with notes by the late H.E. Strickland, which appeared 
in the ^Annals and Magazine of Natural History* (vol. xii. 
pp. 423-427) , having been read at the Cork Meeting of the Bri- 
tish Association in 1843. Colonel Drummond-Hay remained 
in Crete from the 27th April to the 18th June in the year just 
mentioned, and, so far as we know, is the only person in modern 
times who has had such facilities for becoming acquainted with 
its ornithology. The chief changes made in the present reprint 
are Falco eleonorcc for F. subbuteOj Sylvia elaica for >8. palustrisj
