Recently published Ornithological Works. 557 
to the French National Museum. They are referred to 72 
species, mostly procured in Nyasaland and Zambesia at 
different places, and generally well known. This is an 
extension of the List published by the same author in the 
' Bulletin * of the Museum for 1898 (iv. p. 58). 
76. Sharpe on the Ornithological Literature of 1907. 
[Zoological Becord. Vol. xliv. 1907. Ayes, by B. Bowdler Sharpe, 
LL.D. 8vo. 138 pp. London, Dec. 1908. Price 65.] 
Under the new system, which we described last year 
( f Ibis/ 1908,, p. 539), the * Zoological Record/ now published 
by the Royal Society of London for the International 
Council and for the Zoological Society of London, seems to 
progress and prosper. The section of “ Aves,” as last year, 
has been undertaken by Dr. Bowdler Sharpe. The list of 
titles with which it commences is longer than ever, embracing 
about 70 pages of double columns. It may be said that 
some of the papers entered in it are frivolous; but, even if 
this is really the case, they do no harm, and the “ List of 
Titles” should be as complete as it can be made and 
should contain the names of all authors who write on 
Birds. 
After the List of Titles comes the “ Subject Index,” in 
which the previous titles of the List are referred to by the 
authors name and the number of the title attached to it in 
the List. This portion likewise appears to be full and 
complete. The geographical section (p. 81) will be most- 
useful to ornithologists, as will also the Systematic Index,” 
which concludes the section “ Aves.” 
We observe that the error in the name of the “ Catharti- 
formes ” (p. 106) which we pointed out last year has not been 
corrected. We may also remark that we can find no mention 
of Wytsmann^s c Genera Avium 9 in the f Record/ although 
two parts (part vii. Steganopodes, and part viii. Musophagidse) 
were issued in 1907, and Dr. Sharpens name appears on the 
titlepage as that of a contributor to the work in question.
