The results of a journey, in 1867, to Q51and and Scania, 
which gave the author opportunity of making some very good 
investigations, possessing, however, rather a local than a general 
interest. Still the paper is of importance to those engaged on 
Scandinavian ornithology, and Herr Meves’s observations are 
well known to be trustwortliv, while his remarks are generally 
to the point. [Cf. J. f. O. 1869, pp. 390-392; Ibis, 1870.]

The original appeared in ^ Videnskablige Meddelelser fra den 
naturhistoriske Forening i KjobenhavrE for 1862 (pp. 1-78), 
and is of very great excellence, from the intimate knowledge of 
the birds of the Faroes possessed by its author, who has resided 
there all his life. The species included in their fauna are 124 
in number; and the translator’s notes have generally reference 
to the distribution of the birds in Iceland, Scotland, or Norway.
