somewhat flat. In Part VII. he is again very happy in his 
3 plates of the Eider, and the 2 of the Goosander, the young 
of which just emerging from the downy stage have never, 
we believe, been figured before—certainly never so well. 
The phases of plumage in the Pomatorhine Skua are in¬ 
teresting. Part VIII. contains Montagu’s Harrier (2 
plates), Woodcock (2 plates), and 1 plate each of the 
Whooper, Pochard, Goldeneye, and Long-tailed Skua. In 
Part IX. 3 plates are devoted to the Shoveller, and 1 each 
to the Dotterel, Black-tailed Godwit, Great Crested Grebe, 
Great Black-backed Gull, and Fulmar. The letterpress 
relating to these and to many other species is excellent.

Natural History Society of Montreal, and replacing the Canadian Natu¬

It could hardly be expected that a journal of this kind 
would contain much ornithological matter, but we observe 
an article in No. 4, by Mr. C. N. Bell, which gives an in¬ 
teresting account of the “Dance of the Prairie Chicken” 
(Pedioecetes phasianellus ).

[A List of the Birds of the West Indies, including the Bahama Islands 
and the Greater and Lesser Antilles, excepting the Islands of Tobago 
and Trinidad. By Charles B. Cory. Revised Edition. 4to. Boston, 
U.S.A.: 1886.] 
This is a new and revised edition of the useful list of West- 
Indian Birds, of which we have spoken in last year’s volume 
(Ibis, 1885, p. 443). The names are arranged in systematic 
order, and the localities only are added. A few additional 
tables showing the species peculiar to each individual island 
would have increased the usefulness of the work.
