16. Lonnberg on Birds from Transbaicalia and Mongolia . 
[Notes on Birds collected by Mr. Otto Bamberg in Southern Trans¬ 
baicalia and Northern Mongolia. By Einar Lonnberg. Upsala and 
Stockholm, 1909. (Arch. f. Zoologi, Bd. v. no. 9.)] 
This is an account of the birds collected by Mr. Bamberg, 
of Weimar, during an expedition made into Northern 
Mongolia and the adjoining parts of Transbaicalia, and now 
deposited, for the most part, in the Museum of Stockholm. 
It commences with a list of the localities visited, which are 
illustrated by some nice photographs of the scenery, and 
explained in descriptive notes. The localities are given in 
the order in which they were visited, commencing with 
Kjachta and concluding with Urga. The birds collected by 
Mr. Bamberg consist of about 90 species and subspecies, and 
in some cases are of considerable interest, such as Corvus 
dauricus negledus ( cf . Salvadori, f Ibis/ 1909, p. 131), 
Garrulus glandarius bambergi (subsp. nov. of the group of 
G. brandti), Dendrocopus major mongulus (subsp. nov.), 
Up up a epops saturata (subsp. nov.), and Macrorhampkus 
tuczanowskii ( cf . Dresser, ‘ Ibis/ 1909, p. 418), a male speci¬ 
men of w r hich “ in full breeding-plumage” was procured 
at Bura. 
Mr. Lonnberg, we regret to observe, is another advocate 
for changing old-established names, and wishes to call the 
Spotted Flycatcher ee Muscicapa ficedula,” as being the 
Motacilla ficedula of Linnaeus’s tenth edition. But this 
identification is dgubtful, and we prefer Muscicapa grisola , 
which is certain.
