4. List of the Birds of Nova Scotia. — Land Birds. By J. Matthew 
Jones. Ibid., XII, pp. 65, 66, Feb. 27, 1879; pp. 105, 106, March 13, 
1879 , p. 205, Apr. 1 7, 1879 ; p. 245, May 1, 1879. — An annotated list of 
128 species. Gives Ajmmodrom.us maritimus. as “ very common,” arriving 
about the end of March.” Sitta pusilla and Quiscalus major are given on 
the authority of Colonel Bland, B. A. (see l. c., p. 205), and Turdus mus- 
telinus is included on that of Mr. Winton, “ a close observer of birds ” 
(see l. c., p. 205). Empidonax acadicus is given as “ very rare,” while E. 
flaviventris and E. trailli are omitted. Siurus ludovicianus (= 5. mota- 
cilla) is admittedly given by mistake. While several of these “ finds ” 
obviously require confirmation, and a number of species that should be 
included are omitted, the list records many facts of interest and value.
