The only ornithological papers in the fourth number of 
this new periodical * are two by Mr. Haagner—a (C Revision ” 
of the difficult group of South African Grass-Warblers 
( Cisticola ) and a description of two new birds from 
Portuguese East Africa. Of Cisticola Mr. Haagner recog¬ 
nises 19 species, one of which (61 pretoriee) is described as 
new. The two birds from Portuguese East Africa are named 
Anthoscopus robertsi and Heliolais hrbyi.

Our Hungarian contemporary has now completed its 
fifteenth volume, and we have received a copy of it, together 
with separate copies of some of the papers. As was to be 
expected, tne Organ of the “ Central Bureau of Hungarian 
Ornithology ” is mostly devoted to the Birds of Hungary, 
but should by no means be neglected by the student of the 
European Ornis who is able to avail himself of the German 
translation printed in parallel columns with the Magyar text. 
After a disquisition on the burning question how the 
study of the “ flight of Birds ” may help the experiments 
now being carried out on the “ flight of Man,” there comes 
a series of communications from numerous correspondents 
on various subjects relating to the Hungarian Ornis, among 
which migration holds an important part. Amongst these 
we find a paper by our friend Mr. R. B. Lodge on his 
experiences with the Eagles and Vultures of the Carpathians 
during a short visit which he paid to that district in 
September 1908. This article is illustrated by some ex¬ 
cellent photographic plates of Golden Eagles and Griffon 
Vultures.
