the same author. It describes a new CEdicnemus from 
German East Africa, proposed to be called CEdicnemus

In October 1908 Count Arrigoni obtained in the market 
at Padua a Thrush which he believes to be a young female 
of Tardus sibiricus, and has had it preserved for his own

species hitherto recorded in Germany (13), Bohemia (2), 
Holland (2), Great Britain (2), and France, Belgium, and 
Norway each once. It is, in fact, an occasional wanderer 
to Western Europe.

The most valuable information contained in these three 
numbers is undoubtedly that given in April on the discovery 
of the nest and eggs of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper ( Euryno- 
rhynchus pygmceus) by Mr. J. E. Thayer. Mr. Koren was 
sent by him to Wrangel Island, but was driven back by 
storms, and it was left to Capt. F. Kleinschmidt to find 
the first specimens at Cape Serdze, on the eastern coast of 
Siberia. Four eggs were obtained, along with the parent 
bird, as well as eight chicks in down, and our American 
kinsfolk are heartily to be congratulated on their success. 
Heads of both adult and young are figured in colour, and 
all four eggs. 
Second in interest to this great discovery are various 
articles on the Passenger Pigeon by Messrs. A. H. Wright, 
C. F. Hodge, and F. H. Allen. The first furnishes early
