us the full particulars of their work in the Isle of May from 
September 2nd to October 18th, 1910. IIolbolFs Redpoll 
and the Northern Bullfinch were procured after their 
departure, while the Siberian Chiffchaff, the Wood-Lark, and 
the Lapland Bunting were also new to the Forth area. 
Mr. Landsborough Thomson writes on the Heronries of 
“ Dee” ; he suggests a census of the birds, and Mr. Harvie- 
Brown comments on the article. In the “ Zoological Notes ” 
we have again two items of special interest by Mr. Eagle 
Clarke—on the birds observed at Fair Isle in 1910, and 
on Crossbills, Mealy Redpolls, and Bullfinches in Scotland 
respectively. The new birds observed during the year at 
Fair Isle were Acanthis exilipes , A. linaria holboelli , Parus 
major , Cygnus bewicki , Somateria spectabilis, Phalaropus 
fulicarius , and Tot anus flavipes. The two first and the last 
are new to Scotland also.

enter fully into all the articles in these two fine volumes of 
our contemporary; but we may mention the chief of them, 
which, as usual, treat mainly, though not entirely, of Bird 
Preservation and Migration. On the first of these subjects 
Messrs. T. Csorgey and W. Froggatt write of Hungary and 
Australia respectively, while on the latter we find a long 
series'of good papers by such experts as I)r. O. Finsch, 
Messrs. J. Schenk, K. Hegyfoky, F. Victor, and J. Greschik. 
The Editor, Mr. Otto Herman, gives us a sketch of the work 
of the Hungarian Central Ornithological Bureau, and of the 
Fifth International Congress at Berlin, while he also writes 
an obituarial notice of the late Professor Newton and pub¬ 
lishes his correspondence with the Professor on Bird 
Protection. Then we have articles on the food of Birds by 
Messrs. E. Csiki, I. Chernel, and J. Greschik; Mr. E). 
Lintia gives his experiences during a tour in the Dobrud- 
scha; and Mr. J. Schenk a report on Bird-marking in
