numerous notices on tlie birds met with by the author in travel- 
ling (1) from Pekin to Seuen-hwa-foo (iii. pp. 44-96), and du- 
ring (2) his first and (3) second exploring expeditions to the 
Woorato country (iv. pp. 3-32, 32-51), and (4) excursion around 
AVoo-tang-jiao (pp. 51-72) , the narrative of Tvhich is, so far as we 
have seen, unfinished. The maps show the various itineraries.

The introduction states that 250 species will be enumerated 
in the Modenese list, and 300 in the Sicilian ; but the portion of 
the paper as yet published extends to 58, of which 45 belong to 
Modena and 52 to Sicily. A good deal of bibliographical informa- 
tion is contained in the introductory observations, as well as 
some comparative lists of the birds of different parts of Italy 
and its islands ; and the notes on the several species seem, in 
most cases, to be to the point.

In continuation of the paper before mentioned (Zool. Bee. iv. 
p. 53), which referred to tlic districts of Tangier and Tetuan. 
The author has since travelled along the coast from Tetuan to 
Mazagan, thence inward to the city of Morocco, and so to Moga- 
dor. After a brief description of the countries traversed, a list is 
given of the species (27 in number) not before observed by 
him, of which the most noteworthy are Melierax polyzonuSy 
Galcrita macrorhyncha, and Otis tarda.

A very complete ornithological monograph of the island of 
Borkum, the topography of which is fully treated, and essays 
on various matters in connexion with the subject, some having 
before appeared (Zool. Bee. ii. p. 62, iii. p. 49, v. p. 39), intro- 
duced. About 220 species are mentioned, and abundant infor- 
mation respecting the water-birds, which form the majority, is 
given. An appendix is added, consisting of a comparative list 
of the birds of the south coast of the North Sea and of the Baltic. 
The plate represents a scene on Bottum ; and the map is of Bor-
