Recently published Ornithological Works. 193 
of the Swedish seaboard-provinces of Gothehorg and Bohus- 
len, from the pen of Dr. A. W. Malm. The birds occupy 
about 200 pages, and 229 species are included. We do not 
quite understand why Dr. Malm has thought it necessary to 
rename Turdus merula Merula linneif’’ Cinclus aquaticus 
Cinclus linneiy^ Troglodytes europmus Troglodytes linnei/* 
and so forth in every case where Linnaeuses specific name 
has been subsequently used as a generic term. Some names, 
such as Phyllopsneustes and Tarrhaleus/^ are obviously 
misspelt. 
27. Rowley^s ‘Ornithological Miscellany,' Parts x. to xiii. 
Since our last notice of Mr. Rowley’s work, four parts have 
been issued. On home ornithology Mr. Rowley has penned 
articles on the following subjects:—on Saxicola cenanthe, 
illustrated with a plate, showing the form of trap employed on 
the South Downs for catching these birds; on Scoulton 
Mere and the Black-headed Gull [Larus ridibundus) (several 
plates show diflPerent views of this interesting mere) ; on 
Flamborough Head (also illustrated by four plates, of the 
cliffs and their inhabitants) ; on Sussex Heronries; and on 
Cotyle riparia. Mr. Rowley’s contributions to exotic orni¬ 
thology are also numerous. We have a continuation of the 
series of articles on the Birds of the Fiji Islands, with plates 
of Myiolestes macrorhynchus, Layard, and Pachycephala 
torquata, Layard. Figures are also given, accompanied by 
short accounts, of Phainoptila melanoxantha, Salv., Odonto- 
phorus cinctus, Salv., Geotrygon costaricencis, Lawr., Chlor- 
cenas subvinacea, Lawr., Geotrygon rufiventris and Leptoptila 
Cassini, Lawr., Machaerlrhynchus nigripectus, Schl., and Bo- 
micella coccinea (Lath.). 
Mr. Rowley also continues his notes (or rather Dr. Meyer’s) 
on the genus Ptilopus, and figures P. miqueli and P. musschen- 
broeki. He has also an article on the genus Cittura, and 
figures the females of C. cyanotis and C. sanghirensis. Here, 
too. Dr. Meyer has contributed much valuable information. 
We are also glad to see the conclusion of the translation of 
Col. Prejevalski’s ^ Birds of Mongolia,’ instalments of which
