The first of these papers contains a list of 183 species from 
the Portuguese possessions in West Africa, of which speci- 
mens exist in the Museum at Lisbon, with the localities whence 
they were obtained. Eight species, belonging to the families 
CaprimulgidcBy HirundinidcBy LaniidcB, Bylviidce (2), PloceidcB, and 
Columbidce (2), are described as new, but several have no names 
assigned to them. In the second paper, three species, belonging 
to Picida^y Sturnida, and Tetraonidcey are described as new, and 
some of those regarded in that light in the former paper are 
referred to previously known species. These two papers con- 
tain much that is valuable. {Cf. Bev. Zool. 1867, pp. 376, 377 ;

It is with some doubt that we here class this paper ; but as all 
the species observed are Ethiopian, while one of them [Cratero- 
pus acacicB) seems not to be found in Algeria, we imagine that 
the limits of the Palaearctic Begion may not include Tripoli. 
The author^s untimely , deatji has frustrated his design of tho- 
roughly investigating the little-known ornithology of this inte- 
resting district. /

An enumeration of 20 species collected near D^Urban, all of 
which, with one exception, have been before recorded from Na- 
tal ; but some very valuable notes on their synonymy, especially 
on the African species of the genus MeropSy are added by the 
author.

^ Fourteen species of birds are described as new, belonging to

and Anatidce (3) ; but in a subsequent note {tom. cit. pp. 25^ 
256) the author states that eight of them have been known be- 
fore ; but he then adds another new bird, belonging also to ByU 
viidce.
