748 Recently published Ornithological Works . [Ibis, 
species inhabiting the Argentine coast. Another study is 
devoted to the Rheas, of which he recognizes three separable 
forms. A third paper deals with the North American 
Wading birds, 24 species of which winter in the southern part 
of South America ; in this case there is a careful list of all 
the published and many unpublished detailed records. We 
notice only one new form described. This is Lepasthenura 
cegithaloides pallida Dabbene, from Patagonia. 
Both the numbers contain a good many shorter notes, 
personal paragraphs, and even poems. 
South Australian Ornithologist. 
[The South Australian Ornithologist. A Magazine of Ornithology. 
Vols. iv. & v. for 1919 and 1920; 4 nos. in each year.] 
This little magazine, published by the South Australian 
Ornithological Association and edited by a small committee 
of its members, continues to reach us regularly, and the 
last two volumes contain a number of papers almost entirely 
concerned with observations on South Australian birds. 
Each number includes an account of the monthly meetings 
of the Association, and the description with biological de¬ 
tails of a single member of the South Australian Avifauna. 
Capt. S. A. White has concluded the memoir of his father, 
Samuel White, one of the pioneers of Australian ornitho¬ 
logy and the friend and correspondent of Gould. Mr. 
A. M. Morgan, Mr. E. Ashby, Mr. J. W. Mellor, Mr. J. N. 
McGilp, write pleasant articles on their ornithological 
rambles in various parts of the State. Some controversial 
letters on nomenclature by Mr. A. J. Campbell and Capt. 
S. A. White enliven the pages of some of the numbers of 
the magazine, and in the January 1920 number Mr. 
Mathews intervened with an essay on “ Zoological Nomen¬ 
clature : its History and Reason,” which at once drew a 
spirited reply from Mr. Campbell. 
We notice descriptions of the following new races : — 
Climacteris erythrops parsoni Mellor, from the Murray river 
valley; Stipiturus malachurus halmaturina Parsons, from 
Kangaroo Island.
