ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Fontaine, A. de la. Faune du Pays de Luxembourg ou 
Manuel de Zoologie, contenant la description des Animaux 
Vertebres observes dans lePays de Luxembourg. Luxem- 
bourg : 1865, 8vo, pp. 152. 
The district of which the author writes is that which, prior to 
the political arrangements of 1759, formed the then Duchy of 
Luxemburg, extending from the neighbourhood of V erdun and 
Metz on the south to that of Liege and Buttgenbach on the 
north, and from Givet and Carignan on the west to Priim and 
Wittlich below Treves on the east. At present the part of the 
work published only comprehends the Accipitres, Passeres, and 
a few Pica7'iiy to the entire number of 148 species, to which 
several more have a tolerably fair claim to be added. The local 
names, both Walloon and German, some of which are very odd 
ones, are always given. The author expresses his acknowledge- 
ments for assistance to M. de Selys-Longchamps. 
Giglioli, Henry. Notes on the Birds observed at Pisa and in 
its Neighbourhood during the Winter, Spring, and Summer 
of 1864. Ibis, 1865, pp. 50-63. 
A paper sufficiently interesting in its details, but containing 
no great novelty. 
Gould, John. The Birds of Great Britain. Parts vii. and 
viii. London ; 1865. Imp. folio. 
Two parts of this grand work have, as usual, made their 
appearance within the past year. 
Hintz I., W. Ornithologischer Jahresbericht u. s. w. in der 
Umgegend von Sclilosskampen bei Coslin in Pommern, 
Journ. fur Orn. 1865, pp. 81-96, 230-244. 
This report is in continuation of that noticed last year (Zool. 
B-ecord, i. p, 43), and is of the same nature. Falco peregrinus 
was the only species noticed for the first time breeding. 
Homeyer, a. von. Streifereien fiber die bohmischschlesischen 
Grenzgebirge. Jouim. ffir Orn, 1865, pp. 355-367. 
An account of the species observed at eight different locali- 
ties on the frontier of Bohemia and Silesia. None seem to 
require any special notice here. 
Lilford, Lord. Notes on the Ornithology of Spain. Ibis, 
1865, pp. 166-177, pi. v. 
These notes refer almost exclusively to the birds of prey in 
the neighbourhood of Valencia. The author has seen Aguila 
mevioides several times in Spain, and a plate representing it in 
two stages of plumage accompanies the paper. None of the 
other species mentioned require further notice here,
