178 Recently published Ornithological JVorks. [Ibis, 
on the birds of Lake Burford in New Mexico. Mr. G. D. 
Hanna, who lias spent six summers and four winters on the 
Pribilof Islands in Behring Sea, has added a good many 
species to the list of birds occurring there, including four 
species new to the North American list—the Falcated Teal 
(Eunetta falcata ), the Sea-Eagle ( Thalassoaetus pelagicus ), 
a Wader (Heteroscelus brevipes ), and a Pipit ( Anthus spino-

late William Brewster, whose memory is honoured in a 
sympathetic appreciation by Mr. II. W. Henshaw. There

three numbers on the Laridse of Argentina, in which all 
the species are listed, with distribution and keys for the 
determination of the species, and useful outline sketches
