This work has reached plate 43^ but we have not seen any 
letterpress published since we last noticed it (Zoob Eec. i. p. 42) . 
The figures of the birds represented are on so sm^ll a scale^ and 
nearly all of species often figured before, that we think it un- 
necessary to refer to them in more than a few cases,

After furnishing a number of meteorological observations, the 
author gives (pp, 212-215) a list showing the average date of 
arrival in and departure from Austria of nearly 80 species of 
birds. (See above, p. 8.)

An appendix, apparently, to Kiddie^s ^ Guide Book to the

birds included, and nothing that here requires further notice.

This is a work of educational character, and seems to be very 
conscientiously prepared. The introductory part contains a 
good outline of the general structure of birds, written in a po- 
l)ular manner. The classification is based on that of Prof. 
Sundevall, and the portion of the work published extends over 
Picarioe and Passeres. {Cf Ibis, 1868, p. 113.)

A good many ornithological observations made chiefly in Bo- 
hemia during the campaign of 1866; but none requiring ex- 
tended notice.
