64. Robinson on rare Birds in the Malay Peninsula. 
[Notes on Birds new to, or rare in, the Malay Peninsula. By Herbert 
0. Robinson. Journ. Fed. Mai. States Mus. vo! iv. p. 129.] 
Since the publication of Mr. Robinson's Hand-list of the 
Birds of the Malay Peninsula south of the Isthmus of Kra 
(see c Ibis/ 1908, p. 379) specimens have come to hand con¬ 
cerning which he thinks some details may be of interest. 
These relate to Columba punicea , C. grisea, Porzana auri- 
cularis, Gallinago megala, Dissura episcopus, Herodias alba, 
Ardeola bacchus , Ardetta pulchra, Botaurus stellar is, Asar- 
cornis leucoptera, Circus melanoleucus , Spizaetus nepalensis, 
and Baza jerdoni. 
65. Rothschild and Hartert on Eagle-Owls. 
[Notes on Eagle-Owls. By the lion. Walter Rothschild and Ernst 
Hartert. Nov. Zool. xxv! p. 110.] 
The authors have been studying the Eagle-Owls allied to 
Bubo ignavus, and give us the results of their investigations. 
They recognise seven subspecies of this form, of which Bubo 
bubo hispanus (from Spain), B. b. interpositus (from Cilicia), 
and B. b. aharonii (from Palestine) are now described as 
new. They are not acquainted with B. b. nikolskii of 
Zarudny, from West Persia, said to be allied to B. b. turco- 
manus, but smaller. Bubo ascalaphus is reduced to a sub¬ 
species of B. ignavus.

Fam. Loriidse, by T. Salvador! 20 pp., 6 col. plates. Price £1 7s. 2 d. 
Brussels, 1910. — Part XII. Psittaci, Fam. Cyclopsittacidae, by T. 
Salvador! 6 pp., 2 co! plates. Price 6s. Brussels, 1910.] 
We are glad to find the vete* n author of these two 
memoirs at work again on one cf his favourite subjects. 
These articles relate to the brush-tongued Loriidse—a very 
well-marked family of the Psittacine order, and to the Cyclo- 
psittacidse—a small but peculiar group established in the
