306 Recent Ornithological Publications. 
The only species included by our author, which he says has 
not been noticed either in Sweden or Norway, is Falco ater ; and 
this can scarcely be said to be a Finnish bird, though it occurs 
in tolerable plenty from the neighbourhood of Lake Onega 
northwards to Archangel. 
We notice with pleasure (page 97 et seq.) the acknowledg¬ 
ment willingly rendered to the services of our countrymen, the 
late Mr. Wolley, and Mr. H. Dresser (the latter in company with 
two Finnish gentlemen), in discovering the nidification of the 
Waxwing (Ampelis garrulus , L.), of which the particulars have 
been given at length in this Journal. 
Herr von Wright thinks himself justified in considering the 
Titmouse of Scandinavia, usually known as Parus sibiricus , di¬ 
stinct from the Siberian bird to which that name was applied 
by Gmelin, and accordingly continues to the former (the Euro¬ 
pean one) LundahFs appellation of P. lapponicus*. 
The work is written in Swedish, which is an additional re¬ 
commendation, as had it been in the Finnish language it must 
have remained almost a sealed book to naturalists, few of 
whom w r e should imagine have time to spend in mastering the 
grammar of a tongue in which the nouns have thirteen cases ! 
The volume of Scientific Communications published by the 
Natural-History Union of Copenhagen, for the past yearf, con¬ 
tains (page 306) a paper by Professor J. Reinhardt on the 
example of Syrrhaptes paradoxus which was shot in Jutland, 
as has before been mentioned in our pages (‘Ibis/ 1860, p. 109, 
note), and also (page 335) a notice of some recent additions to 
the ornithology of Greenland, all of which, however, are included 
in the valuable list of the birds of that country, with which that 
learned naturalist has enriched our present volume.
