Recently published Ornithological Works. 359 
Next we may allude to articles by Dr. J. A. Allen on the 
vexed question of Strix v. Aluco (wherein his conclusions 
agree with those of Prof. Newton and Dr. Coues), and on 
Columbina v. Chamcepelia ; while these serve to draw our 
special attention to the Fourteenth Supplement to the 
A. O. U. Check-List given in the July number. 
The chief distributional paper is that of Messrs. Beyer, 
Allison, and Kopman on the birds of Louisiana (Pt. IY. 
April, Pt. Y. October), a most useful piece of work and far 
more than a mere list of species. In the April number we 
have also articles by Mr, W. A. Dawson on the Avifauna of 
the Olympiades (a name he proposes for three reserves 
among the islands off the West Coast of Washington State), 
by Mr. H. G. Smith on that of Colorado, by Mr. E. S. 
Woodruff on that of Shannon and Carter Counties, 
Missouri; in July others by Mr. R. H. Harlow on that of 
Eastern Pennsylvania and by Mr. C. J. Pennock on that 
of Delaware; in October by Mr. A. A. Saunders on that of 
Central Alabama, by Mr. J. M. Edson on that of the 
Bellingham Bay Region in the north-west of the United 
States, by Mr. E. Thompson Seton on that of Manitoba, 
by Mr. N. Hollister on that of the Needles Region, 
California, and by Mr. A. B. Reagan on that of the 
Rosebud Indian Reservation, South Dakota. 
Returning to the April number we find Mr. Ruthven 
Deane again to the fore with a short paper on the Passenger 
Pigeon in confinement (cf. ‘ Auk/ xiii. p. 234) and the 
probability of its immediate extinction; in July Mr. E. S. 
Cameron gives ns the benefit of his experiences with regard 
to the Golden Eagle in Montana, Mr. J. H. Riley discusses 
the broad-winged Hawks of the West Indies, and describes 
as a new subspecies Buteo platypterus insulicola, Mr. E. J. 
Court writes on the Treganza Blue Heron (with two plates), 
Mr. F. H. Allen on Larus kumlieni and other northern Gulls 
at Boston, Mr. J. H. Fleming on the destruction of Olor 
columbianus at Niagara, and Mr. A. H. Clark on the Macaw 
of Dominica (which he provisionally terms Ara atwoodi). 
The last-named paper should be read in connexion with the
