ScLATER^ P. L., and Salvin, O. Second List of Birds collected 
at Concliitas, Argentine Republic, by Mr. William H. 
Hudson; together with some Notes upon another Collection 
from the same locality. Tom. cit. pp. 158-162. Third 
List, &c., collected by Mr. Hudson. Ibid. pp. 631-636. 
The first list we noticed last year (Zool. Rec. v. pp. 56, 57). 
The Second collection contains 50 species, of which 14 are not 
in the first. The other part of the paper consists of notes on a 
collection made by Mr. Haslehurst near Buenos Ayres, which 
contained 10 additional species. All these are enumerated, but 
none are new. 
The Third collection includes 92 species, of which 33 were 
not contained in the first two. None of them are new. 
, . Second List of Birds collected in the Straits of 
Magellan by Dr. Cunningham. Ibis, 1869, pp. 283-286. 
This collection was formed during the summer of 1867-68 
(Zool. Rec. V. p.54), and contained 31 species: the land-birds are 
all well knownChilian forms, and thus confirm theopinions already 
uttered by the authors {tom. cit. p. 56) as to the Patagonian 
avifauna. Remarks are added on 3 species of Fringillidcs. 
Sternberg, Chrysanthus. Notizen aus der Vogelwelt von 
Buenos-Ayres. Journ. fur Oru. 1869, pp. 174-193, 257- 
278. 
After a general description of the neighbourhood of Buenos 
Ayres, notes on 35 species follow. These chiefly relate to their 
mode of breeding, and appear to be most carefully made. 
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. 
Bonsdorff, — . Anatomiskt bevis for den af Professor Maklin 
gifna tydningeii af furcula hos foglarne. (Efvers. Finska 
Vet.-Soc. Forhandl. xi. pp. 66-70. 
With tho views of Prof. Miiklin on this subject we are not acquainted; 
the present paper is an anatomical proof of their correctness.

de Gallinaces. Comptes Rendus, Ixviii. pp. 613-615. 
These have reference to the best mode of ensuring success in artificial incu- 
bation, and show how it may depend upon the texture and colour of the 
egg-shell and the ordinary temperature of the atmosphere.
