to which frequent reference is made in his ‘ Musee d'Histoire 
Naturelle des Pays-Bas'*, and of which Dr. Schlegel has already 
spoken in these pages (see anted, p. 120). The first part of 
this work, which is issued under the distinguished editorship 
of Dr. Schlegel, Dr. Bleeker, and Mr. J. F. Westerman, com¬ 
mences with a paper by Dr. Schlegel, on the genus Gracula . 
Dr. Schlegel excludes Gymnops calvus of the Philippines and 
Ampeliceps coronatns of Tenasserim, and enumerates the follow¬ 
ing species of what he considers true Graculee. 
1. G. religiosa of Lower India and Ceylon. 
2. G. venerata of Sumbawa. 
3. G.javanensis of Malacca, Java, Sumatra, and Borneo. 
4. G. intermedia of Bengal, Nepal, and Tenasserim. 
5. G. lidthii, sp. nov. ex patr. ignota. 
6. G. ptilogenys of Ceylon. 
7. G. dumontii of New Guinea and the Aru Islands. 
Of each of these full descriptive characters, with accompany¬ 
ing observations, are given. We may remark that Mr. Wallace's 
lately rediscovered Gracula pedoralis, of New Guineaf (P. Z. S. 
1862, p. 164, pi. xx.), should be added as an eighth species to the 
list; and that, on the same distinguished authority, we can give 
the island of Flores as an additional locality for G. venerata. 
A second ornithological paper is commenced in the same 
number, being a list, by Mr. Otto Finsch, of the Parrots living 
in the Zoological Gardens at Amsterdam. When this is com¬ 
pleted, we propose to institute a comparison between it and that 
of the species living in the Zoological Society of London's Gar¬ 
dens, as given in their lately published catalogue J of the Verte- 
brata living in their Gardens. Meanwhile we may notice that

* We much regret that, in our own notice of this new work {antea, 
p. 105), we have inadvertently written Gypaetus for Gypo-hierax —the lat¬ 
ter being the form which Dr. Schlegel unites to Haliaetus.
