762 Recently published Ornithological Works. 
and of the first Shore-Lark. In vol. xx. No. 1, we have a 
report from the same pen of the abundance of Black 
Redstarts on migration in 1910, and a notice of an American 
Blue-winged Teal shot in County Cork (which may have 
been an escaped bird) by Mr. A. R. Nicols. In No. 3 the 
last-named discusses the Irish forms of the Dipper, Jay, and 
Coal Titmouse, which have been recently distinguished from 
the typical species, and in No. 4 Mr. Barrington writes 
on the third of these forms. In No. 5 Mr. W. J. Williams 
records the first Nuthatch for Ireland (commented on by 
Mr. C. B. Moffat on p. 115), and in No. 6 Mr. Barrington 
has a very important article (with a map) on the Great 
rush of Birds on the night of March 29th-30th in Ireland. 
In No. 7 Miss Dobbs and Mr. Moffat write on “ Luminous 
Birds ” and, finally, in No. 8 Mr. Ussher tells us that he has 
discovered a breeding colony of the Fulmar Petrel on the 
w est coast of Ireland (in Mayo). Of this discovery details 
are given in No. 9, where a second locality for Ireland is also 
mentioned, and extra notes are added by Mr. Barrington. 
91. Kloss on Malayan Birds. 
A recently issued number of the 1 Journal of the 
Federated Malay States Museums ’ (vol. iv. no. 2) contains 
two short papers relating to Birds by Mr. C. Boden Kloss, 
the Curator of the Perak State Museum. In the first of 
these a list is given of the birds of the “ district of Trengganu/’ 
which is stated to have “ received very little attention from 
zoologists/ 5 Seventy-nine species are named, besides 
others u observed/’ In the second paper, the Mammals and 
Birds of the low lands of the State of Pahang are enume¬ 
rated—the species of birds are 135. Two specimens of the 
rare Banded Kingfisher (Alcedo euryzona ) are the first that 
have been taken in the Federated Malay States for many 
years, while the unstable state of Mesobucco duvauceli , the 
commonness of Munia leucogastra , and the fact that Setaria 
affinis occurs in an area where another closely allied form 
was thought to have replaced it, are other pieces of news 
that call for comment.
