in the order adopted in the f Check-list/ so far as that is 
applicable, but not described, except in certain cases where 
“keys ” are given. The localities and collectors are exactly 
stated, and excellent field-notes are often added. 
The following species and subspecies are provided with 
new names : — 
Crypturus soul panamensis , Columba flavirostris minima , 
Chamapelia passerina neglect a , Selasphorus simoni, Dendro- 
cincla anabatina saturata, Campylorhynchus pusillus borealis , 
and Corapipo altera albirostris. A new and, in our opinion, 
very needless generic name, Dicrorhynchus, is proposed for 
Tetragonops frantzii, which is a close ally in structure of 
T. rhamphastinus, though of a different style of coloration.

piece of work, notwithstanding the numerous trinomials, 
or, we might say, quadrinomials, as he evidently regards 
the author’s name as an essential part of a specific 
appellation.

[Tlie Eggs of the Birds of Europe, including all the Species inhabiting 
the Western Palsearctic Area. By H. E. Dresser. Parts XXIII. & XXIV. 
London. 4to. November, 1910.] 
With this double part Mr. Dresser concludes his admirable 
work on Pabearctic Oology, and he is to be congratulated on 
the successful termination of what he tells us has been a labour 
of love, as well as on the number of very rare or almost un¬ 
known eggs which he has been able to figure. We now have 
the conclusion of the Laridce, the Stercorariidae , Pr ocellar iidee , 
Alcidce , and Colymbidee; while in an Appendix the author 
adds notes on Turdus naumanni , T. ruficollis , T. varius, 
Saxicola leucopyga , Sylvia nana , S. mystacea , S. momus, 
S. melanothorax , Melizophilus deserticola, Phylloscopus 
viridanus , F. negledus, P. nitidus, Emberiza citrinella , 
Melierax polyzonus , Flatus rufus , and Tringa acuminata , 
and also makes some additions and corrections in the case 
of other species. The eggs of Turdus ruficollis , Sylvia
