birds (Bucconidse), illustrated by coloured plates drawn by 
Keulemans. In 1891 he prepared the article dealing with 
the Jacamars published in the nineteenth volume of the 
‘ Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum/ The present 
memoir follows strictly the arrangement and nomenclature 
of the last-named work with a few necessary corrections 
and additions. 
Sclater divides the Jacamars into two subfamilies—the 
Galbulince and the Jacameropince. The typical Jacamars 
are arranged in five genera, while of the subfamily Jaca¬ 
meropince only one genus containing a single species is 
known. 
The memoir is illustrated by a coloured plate, in which 
figures of both sexes of Galbula pastazce are given and various 
details about other species.

Handbook of Jamaica, 1910, p. 596. Kingston, Jamaica, 1910.] 
In 1881 the brothers Alfred and Edward Newton prepared 
a List of the Birds of Jamaica as then known to them, and 
published it in the 4 Handbook of Jamaica 3 for that year. 
The Handbook for 1881 and the List have been long out of 
print, and Sclater, who visited Jamaica last year, was re¬ 
quested to prepare a new List for publication in the Hand¬ 
book of the present year. This he consented to do, and the 
result is now before us. 
The f Revised List* follows the order and arrangement 
of the former List very closely, only necessary alterations 
having been made. But two small additions are that the 
“ habitat” and range of every species is stated, and that a 
few r remarks on the general character of the Jamaican avi¬ 
fauna are appended. 
According to the ‘ Revised List/ the ornis of Jamaica 
contains 194 species, of which 99 are constant residents, 
52 are winter visitors, and 43 are occasional visitors. The
