Str. Feath. vii. pp. 33-39. 
This second collection made by Mr. Bourdillon [cf. Zool. Rec. xiii. 
Aves^ p. 15] contains 28 additional species, some of which are of consider- 
able interest \_Sylviid(e^ TurdidcBj Timeliidce].

The species considered new are Garrulax subccerulatus^ dole terricolor ?, 
Rallina telmatophila, Asio hutleri [^Timeliidoe, Pycnonotidce, Rallidce, Stri- 
gidce] ; but at p. 451 [see below] the author expresses doubt as to whether 
the second and third are not identical with previously described species. 
. Notes. Tom. cit. pp. 149-170, 451-465. 
Tlie above contains many rectifications in synonymy, including retrac- 
tations concerning some of the author’s supposed new species. 
. Birds occurring in India not described in Jerdon or in “ Stray 
Feathers.” Str. Feath. vii. pp. 320-451. 
A compilation suited to the requirements of those Indian Field-Natu- 
ralists who have not access to ornithological libraries.

, & Davison, W. A Revised List of the Birds of Tenasserim. Str. 
Feath. vi. pp. 1-524. 
The whole of vol. vi. is devoted to this important monograph, the 
value of which can hardly be overrated. 721 species are enumerated, 
and Hume’s synonymy and descriptions are supplemented by Davison’s 
remarks on their distribution, with interesting field-notes. A new 
genus (Turdinulus) is proposed by Hume for Pnoepyga roherti [Cf. Zool. 
Rec. xii. p. 79, where this species was recorded amongst the Troglodytidce, 
but, following Tweeddale & Blyth, the Recorder now places it amongst 
the Turdidce, although it will probably be eventually referred to the 
Timeliidce].
