This series of papers contains short notes on 115 species; but 
it is certain that all of them have not been observed by the 
author. Of such as he has seen he mentions the colours of the 
irides and soft parts, but in few cases are any precise localities 
given. The series is concluded in the same journal for the pre- 
sent year. (Cf. Ibis, 1868, p. 223.) 
Hartlaub, G. Report on a Collection of Birds found in the 
Island of Zanzibar by Dr. John Kirk. Proc. Zool. Soc. 
1867, pp. 823-828. 
Forty-two species are enumerated, of which two (belonging to 
TurdidcB and Tetraonidat) are new. There are only three exclu- 
sively eastern, six are essentially South-African, two of which 
extend up the western coast to Angola, Most of the remainder 
have a wider distribution,

A good many corrections and notes on the Marquess O. An- 
tinorPs list (Zool. Rec. i. p. 48), the most important of which are 
noticed under the names of the species to which they refer. The 
number obtained by the Marquess is reduced, according to the 
author, from 254 to 251.

Very useful remarks on the birds figm'ed in the Duke Paul of 
Wiirtemberg’s unpublished ^ leones,’ of which a list appeared 
some years ago in the ^ Naumannia’ (1857, pp. 432-434). De- 
scriptions of most of the good species are now for the first time 
published, and some of the other specimens in the Duke’s col- 
lection at Mergentheim are identified.

This is the beginning of a series of papers (continued in the 
same journal for the present year) which are to embody the or- 
nithological results of the author’s protracted Wanderings in 
North-eastern Africa ; and if the design be fully carried out, it 
will be of very great service ; for his writings are so nume-
