, We have been favoured with a copy of a new magazine 
devoted to Oology. It is edited by Mr. Kenneth L. Skinner, 
and contains several pleasant articles on birds and bird- 
nesting. The first, by C. F. B., contains a list of species 
found breeding in the neighbourhood of Mombasa, some of 
those met with being by no means common, but we should 
like to know that they were all identified by collecting the 
skins. The second article, by Mr. J. Bishop, is on birds met 
with along the western front in France; the most inter¬ 
esting note is on the Little Bustard, whose breeding place 
was probably located though the eggs were not found. 
Captain Pitman has a third article on bird-nesting in 
Palestine, but he only deals in the present number with 
the Rufous Warbler and the Whitethroat, which are treated 
at considerable length. 
A picture of the Kite by Frohawk adorns the cover, 
perhaps not the best frontispiece that could be chosen for 
an Oological Magazine. 
South African Journal of Natural History. 
[The South African Journal of Natural History. Vol. ii. for 1920.] 
With this publication the former Journal of the South 
African Ornithologists’ Union is now incorporated, and we 
have recently received the two numbers for 1920, making 
up the second volume. Among the papers on birds is one 
by the late Lieut. C. G. Finch-Davies on the avifauna of 
the South-West African Protectorate, which adds to our 
knowledge of the distribution of South African birds. 
Verreaux’s Eagle (. Aquila verreauoci) is recorded from the 
Protectorate for the first time. It was found nesting on a 
krantz near Windhuk. Mr. Finch-Davies has also identified 
Lanius luebberti Reichw. as an immature L. minor ,
