History Society/ and we express our hope that it may be 
the precursor of a long series of equally interesting numbers. 
We see that Mr. F. J. Jackson is the President of the 
Society and the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and 
we find that, as might have been expected, he contributes an 
ornithological article to the new Journal. 
The subject Mr. Jackson has selected is the Francolins of 
East Africa, of which he recognises sixteen species, twelve 
belonging to typical Francolinus, and four to the bare- 
throated genus Pternistes. All known particulars are given 
respecting these birds and their habits and distribution, but 
we are told that very little has been recorded as regards 
their breeding-season, and that more information on this 
point is much required. The Francolins and Guinea-fowls 
are the principal Game-birds of East Africa, and it is highly 
desirable that regulations should be made for their protec¬ 
tion, as they are now shot indiscriminately at all times in 
the year. 
A coloured figure of Francolinus hubbardi, drawn by 
Major Jones, illustrates this memoir.

Dr. Stejneger publishes a paper, written by the late 
M. Jouy, on the Paradise-Flycatchers of Japan and Korea, 
which shews that the two forms, although closely allied, are 
different. For the former it is proposed to use the name 
Terpsiplione atrocaudata (Eyton), and for the latter the new 
name Terpsiphone oivstoni . T. atrocaudata is apparently 
restricted in Japan to the southern islands, but is also met 
with in South eastern Korea, while T. owstoni inhabits 
Hondo Island, Japan, and Amoy and Hong-Kong in China.
