99. North on a new Australian Honey-eater. 
[Description of a new Genus and Species of Honey-eater from Western 
Australia. By Alfred J. North. Viet. Nat. xxvi. p. 138 (1910).] 
Under the name Lacustroica whiter Mr. North describes 
a new genus and species of Honey-eater from Western 
Australia. It is allied to Entomophila, but has a shorter 
bill, longer tarsus, and a different wing-formula. It is a 
small bird of dull colours. 
100. Penard on the Birds of Guiana. 
[De Vogels van Guyana (Suriname, Cayenne en Demerara), door 
Frederik Paul Penard en Arthur Philip Penard. Tweede Deel. 
Paramaribo, 1910. 8vo, 587 pp.] 
This is the second volume of the work on the birds of the 
three Guianas (Dutch, French, and British), to which we 
called our readers’ attention on a previous occasion ( f Ibis/ 
1909, p. 373). It is written in Dutch, the native language 
of the authors, although we should have thought that, as we 
have said before, English would have been better under¬ 
stood by those whom the work is likely to interest. 
The present volume contains an account of the Picariae 
and Passeres of the Guianas and concludes the work. The 
numerous species of the Guianan Avifauna included in it are 
mostly familiar, but there are a few names in the List that 
are unknown to us, such as Hadrostomus atricapillus suri- 
namensis, Attila surinamensis, Heteropelma surinamense , Todi- 
rostrum surinamense , Formicarius tamiesoni , and Lamprospiza 
charmesi. Specimens of these supposed new species require 
careful examination before they can be admitted to a 
permanent place in the South-American Ornis.
