During the occupation of the greater part of Macedonia 
by the German forces a Survey Commission was formed for 
the zoological exploration of the country, which was up to 
that time hardly known. Some 3258 bird-skins, repre¬ 
senting 168 species and subspecies, were collected by 
Professors Doflein and Muller during a period of about 
sixteen months in 1917 and 1918, and these were all 
deposited in the State Museum at Munich. 
A very full and complete report on these collections has 
been drawn up by Dr. Stresemann. Many of the species were 
collected in long series of often over 50 specimens. This 
has enabled him in many cases to give detailed accounts of 
the development of the different plumages and of the moult. 
There are also paragraphs on individual and geographical 
variation, and on distribution and biology or habits in 
Macedonia, these last being compiled chiefly from Prof. 
Muller’s notes. A complete list of the specimens of all the 
species with wing-measurements and other details is given, 
and the nomenclature is of the most advanced character. 
We notice only two new names —Galerida cristata miihlei 
nom. nov. pro G. c. ferruginea Miihle for the Crested Lark 
of Greece, and Budytes flavus macronyx subsp. n. for the 
Yellow Wagtail of north-eastern Siberia; but several forms 
mentioned in the account of the collection, such as Carduelis 
c. balcanica, Cettia cetti mulleri , Cinclus cinclus orientalis , 
Dryobates major balcanicus , Picas viridis dofleini , have been 
described as new in a previous publication. Following the 
description of the collections is a notice of other species 
recorded from Macedonia, and finally a complete systematic 
list of all the birds hitherto known from that country.
