Hungary for eacli year separately. Mr. Herman also writes 
on J. F. Naumann’s visit to Hungary in the year 1835; and 
there are many other papers on individual species of birds 
and so forth, the most important of which seem to be those 
on the breeding of the Bosy Pastor in Hungary in 1909 and 
the great incursion of Crossbills in the same year.

[Aviculturai Magazine. Third Series. Vol. ii. Nos. 1-5 (November 
1910-March 1911).] 
The first four numbers of this volume contain several 
articles of general interest to Ornithologists besides those 
specially devoted to aviculture. Of these we may first mention 
Dr. Gunther's account of the longevity of certain birds which 
he has kept (cf. Avicult. Mag. 1910, pp. 259, 299), and Mr. L. 
Seth-Smith's notes on some interesting Uganda birds and 
their nests (Kilimanjaro Sun-bird, Paradise Flycatcher, 
Shelley's Coly, Crested Crane, Emin's Warbler, and so forth). 
The same writer and Mr. W. L. Sclater respectively write on 
Boss's Touraco (col. pi.) and the Bromvogel ( Bucorax cafer) 
in their native lands and in captivity ; -while Mr. D. Seth- 
Smith discusses the case of the Common Quail and its 
destruction for culinary purposes. Lady William Cecil gives 
us her ornithological experiences in the Egyptian Desert, 
Dr. Butler a dissertation on the revelation of Ignorance by 
Knowledge, and Mr. D. Seth-Smith his usual important 
notes on the Zoological Gardens and their new acquisitions. 
Of more strictly avicultural papers we have those by 
Mr. B. Holden on a hybrid between Iiyphantornis cucullatus 
and H. spilonotus, by Mr. G. Battigan on the latter breeding 
in captivity, by Mr. Fasey on his Parrakeets, by Mr. Amsler 
on the nesting of Otocompsa jocosa , by Mr. St. Quintin on 
the Little Bustard, Australian Thicknee, and Common 
Scoter at his Scampston aviaries (especially the plumages of 
the first-named), by Mr. B. Phillipps on the breeding of 
Emhlemma pictum, by Mr. A. Silver and Mr. J. L. Bonhote 
on Crossbills nesting in confinement (col. pi.), and by 
Mr. Warren-Yernon on captive Bheas.
