The 426 species acknowledged by the author are distributed amongst 
120 genera, the characters of which are illustrated by woodcuts. Floricola 
is a new genus, comprising 4 species hitherto placed under Heliomaster ; 
laclie is substituted for Circe, which is preoccupied, and Callipharus 
similarly replaces Clotho. In species, Petasophora ruhrigularisx^ proposed 
for a bird differing somewhat from P. corruscans. \_Trochilidce^

This notice, derived from the medical return of the late Surgeon 
Robert ^Anderson, of H.M.S. ‘ Enterprise,’ between the years 1851^52, 
possesses unusual interest from the position of Prince Albert Land, 
which connects with the Parry Archipelago and other districts whose 
fauna was already known.

This narrative of a journey to Western Siberia contains numerous 
allusions to the birds observed. [For O. Finsch’s letters on the subject 
in English, see Zool. Rec. xiv. Aves, p. 8.]

In this description of the scientific results of the above journey, 283 
species of birds are noticed. On collating p. 437 in the former work, 
and p. 251 in the latter, with O. Finsch’s letter in Ibis, 1877, p. 60, in 
which he then stated that Tringa suh-arquata was found with its youug, it 
now appears that for this species T. alpina should be read ; consequently 
the young of T. suh-arquata are still unknown. \_Scolopacidce.~\
