Islands, Kamchatka, and the Kurile Islands to Japan, and 
the return voyage by Honolulu. Mr. Clark has already 
described the novelties of bird-life met with during the 
voyage (see Pr. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxxii. p. 467, and ‘Ibis/ 
1907, p. 641), and the present paper gives an account of 
the expedition and its results. 
Mr. Clark's list contains the names of about 190 species, 
amongst which are those of many rare marine birds from 
the North Pacific coasts, especially Alcidse, while some 
interesting observations were made on their habits. But no 
list is given of the specimens actually obtained, and in many 
instances the species are only noted as seen. Such is the 
case with the great Sea-Eagle Haliaetus pelagicus, which 
is believed to have been seen near Unalaska, and the Great 
Black Woodpecker ( Picus martins ), a single specimen of 
which was observed near Korsakoff, Sakhalin. 
The question of the American subspecies of Lagopus 
lagopus is discussed at some length.

Mr. Chapman is, in our opinion, a very fortunate man. 
To have gone on so many “ cruises 99 and to have made so 
many “ camps 99 does not fall to the lot of all his ornitho¬ 
logical brethren, and we are quite sure that, although there 
may have been some little mishaps in his various expeditions, 
he is well pleased with their general results, of which he now 
gives us a most interesting account. 
As many of our readers may be aware, Mr. Chapman is 
the Curator of Ornithology in the “ American Museum of 
Natural History" in New York. For the last seven years 
he has devoted his time, during the nesting-season, to the 
collecting of specimens and to making field-studies and photo¬ 
graphs of certain birds on which a series of what is called 
“ Habitat-groups " for the Museum may be based. In a 
previous notice of one of Mr. Chapman’s papers (see e Ibis/
