Sainte Marie in Southern Madagascar innumerable frag¬ 
ments of the eggs of AEpyornis. No. 4 relates to a collec¬ 
tion of birds from the Egyptian Soudan made by M. and 
Mme. de Vilmorin. Fifty-eight species are enumerated, 
and notes are added on each of them. In No. 5 we find the 
first and second parts of a list of birds forwarded to the 
Paris Museum by M. Rey, the Governor of the Colony of 
Cayenne. Most of the 74 species are well-known, but 
Vireolanius leucotis is rather a rarity. In Nos. 6 and 7 
M. Menegaux transfers bis attention to Ecuador, and 
registers two collections made in various parts of that 
Republic. The former, presented by M. Gonessiat, con¬ 
tained examples of 47 species; the latter was a set of 
duplicates from the Museum at Quito, which are referred to 
47 species, many of them being rare and new to the Paris 
Museum. 
12. Neumann*s Notes on African Birds. 
[Notes on African Birds in the Tring Museum. By Oscar Neumann. 
Nov. Zool. xv. p. 366 (1908).] 
Prof. Neumann begins his notes with a useful list of the 
Musophagidae, of which he recognizes 32 species and sub¬ 
species, belonging to the genera Corythaola^ (1), Chizcerhis 
(2), Corythaicoides ( 5), Gymnoschizorliis (3), Musophaga (2), 
Ruwenzorornis (2), Gallirex (2), and Turacus (15). Nearly 
all the Turaci are provided with three names, and the very 
distinct Musophaga rossa is made a subspecies of M. violacea ! 
Turacus livingstonei loitanus is a new subspecies from the 
Loita Mountains, B.E.A. 
After disposing of the Touracos, Prof. Neumann gives us 
his “ List of the African Psittacidae,” with much information 
about their localities, recognizing 31 species and subspecies. 
Of these Poeocephalus gulielmi fantiensis, P. meyeri nyansa, 
and Agapornis pullaria Uganda are described as new sub¬ 
species. But he omits to mention Agapornis liliana and 
A. nigriyenis , both excellent and well-marked species, 
because, we suppose, they are not represented in the Tring 
Museum. It would, however, have been well to mention
