the activity of the Hungarian ornithologists, or to have re¬ 
stricted the publication of the results of their investigations. 
Otto Herman, the original editor and founder of the 
organization, died on 27 December, 1914, and was suc¬ 
ceeded by Titus Csorgey for the 1915 volume; since then 
the responsible editor appears to be Stefan Chernel von 
Chernelhaza. The volumes are bilingual, in Magyar and 
German. 
Here we can do little more than indicate the principal 
contents. The 1914 volume has a sympathetic memoir on 
Dr. Herman, with a portrait and a bibliography of his 
published work. There are papers on the osteology of the 
Ocellated Turkey (Agriochoris ocellata) by Dr. Shufeldt of 
Washington, on the morphology of the avian metacarpus 
and on some Pleistocene bird-bones by Dr. Lambrecht. 
Messrs. J. Schenk and K. ITegyfoky report on migration in 
Hungary during the previous year ; w r hile Dr. J. Greschik 
writes on anatomy and histology, and Messrs. E. Csiki 
and G. Bittera on the food and economic status of various 
Hungarian birds. 
The other volumes contain papers on the same or similar 
topics, all more or less closely concerned with Hungarian 
ornithology. 
The last volume of the series contains an account of the 
historical development of the study of Hungarian Orni¬ 
thology by Mr. J. Schenk, and two appendices. The first 
of these, by the Editor, is a Nomenclator Avium llegni 
Ilungarise, a checklist drawn up on the lines of the B. O. U. 
List, but without any distribution, followed by notes on the 
nomenclature in disputed or doubtful cases. Dr. Chernel 
does not follow the International rules altogether. He will 
not use the same generic and specific names, and calls the 
White-eyed Pochard Nyroca ferruginea instead of Nyroca 
nyroca. Pie also sticks to Anas boschas for the Mallard and 
Turdus musicus for the Song-Thrush, and gives his reasons 
for so doing. The second supplement to the 1918 volume 
contains an elaborate memoir on the former and present 
breeding places of the two White Egrets, Herodias alba
