ten male and female examples of the Yellow-browed Warbler, 
three Shore Larks, two Little Buntings, a Barred Warbler, 
a Scarlet Grosbeak, and a Red-breasted Flycatcher. They 
consider that they obtained very good results on the whole, 
though birds were somewhat scarce. 
In both October and January Mr. Eagle Clarke contributes 
articles on the recent remarkable immigration of Crossbills 
to Britain, which are of much interest: in October we have 
a notice of Sabine's Gull from Shetland, in January records 
of two forms of Redpoll, the Northern Bullfinch and Teng- 
maim's Owl from the same islands, and also of two Yellow- 
browed Warblers from East Ross-shire, these being the first 
known to have occurred on the Scottish mainland.

February 1910.] 
This magazine continues to flourish under its new editor 
Mr. Frank Finn, and there seems to be no lack of contributors, 
most of them well known to its readers. Taking the more 
general articles in order, we have Mr. Seth Smith continuing 
his reminiscences of his trip to Australia with an account 
of the National Park in New South Wales, its Lyre-Birds, 
Satin Bower-Birds and other uncommon species. The 
Duchess of Bedford writes on the rare Cranes and other birds 
nesting at Woburn, and notes that Pekin Robins and some 
other species have bred in a wild state in the Park ; Col. 
Momber discusses the morals of Birds, while Mr. Butler 
follows with an article on the same subject; and the former 
also contributes a pleasant paper on the birds of the Riviera. 
As regards particular genera or species Mr. Astley discusses 
Agapornis taranta (col. pi.) ; Mr. Denman describes the 
displays of Rhinochetus jubatus (pi.) and different forms of 
Hangnests. Mr. C. B. Smith sends notes on the habits of 
Strepsilas interpres and Arboricola ; Dr. Butler writes on the 
genus Nymphicus; Messrs. Silver and Scherren on the Dart- 
ford Warbler; and Mr. Newman on Turtur decipiens. 
Of species bred in captivity we have Chalcopsittacus ater
