the North River is given in Dr. Van Oort’s article. 
Altogether about 170 species are enumerated in the 
present memoir, and the dates and localities of every specimen 
are exactly set forth, with critical notes when required. The 
greater number of the birds are old friends, but two species 
and six subspecies are described as new—namely, Clytoceyx 
rex imperator , Arses telescophthalmus harterti , Sericornis 
arfakiana nouhuysi, Malurus lorentzi, Pitohui (scr. Rhectes) 
aruensis nigropectus, Pitohui incertus, Ptilotis erythropleura 
lorenzi , and Entomyza cyanotis griseigularis . The prizes of 
the collection are two adult males of Xanthomelus ardens , of 
which only the imperfect typical specimen, now at Genoa, 
was previously known. This gorgeous bird is now well 
figured (Plate iii, p. 100). A text-figure (p. 105) represents 
the extremely remarkable convolutions of the trachea in 
Manucodia atra and Phonygama keraudreni.

The Zoological Society of London, always in the front 
when good scientific work is to be done, has, as has been 
already announced, undertaken the publication of the 
zoological results of the Ruwenzori Expedition of 1905-1906, 
and has appropriated the nineteenth volume of their quarto 
Transactions to this purpose. In accordance with the 
traditions of the Society there can be no doubt that this task 
will be thoroughly well performed, nor will there be any 
delay in its execution, as the first Part of the work is now 
before us. 
After a short preface by Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant, who, 
as we all know, was not only the originator and organizer 
of this successful enterprise, but also raised, among his 
many friends, the funds required for its accomplishment, we 
find an excellent and well-written “ Itinerary ” of the
