79. The Bombay Natural History Society. 
[Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. Edited by E. H. 
Aitken and R. A. Sterndale. Vol. I. No. 1, January, No. 2, April, 1886.] 
This Society was founded so long ago as 1883, and we are 
glad to find that it has now developed sufficient vitality to 
have a mouth-piece. Such a Journal was much wanted in 
India since the abrupt discontinuance of f Stray Feathers/ 
and it is satisfactory to see a goodly list of Members. The 
Editors are Messrs. E. H. Aitken and R. A. Sterndale, who are 
also in special charge of the Sections of Mammals and Birds ; 
and the former contributes an interesting ornithological 
paper to the first number, “ On the Mimicry of Phyllornis 
jerdoni,” besides ee Catalogues of the Birds and Eggs in the 
Society’s Collection.” No. 2 opens with a friendly criticism 
by Mr. H. Littledale, of the f Handbook to the Birds of the 
Bombay Presidency/ lately noticed in this Journal (p. 190), 
by Lieut. H. E. Barnes, who in his turn contributes an 
article on Birds’-nesting in Rajpootana.” We shall look 
forward to further interesting papers from our confreres and 
others, for Indian ornithologists should not allow themselves 
to be forgotten.

Ornithological Club merged its quarterly bulletin in the 
e Auk/ yet seeing that the latter is already overcrowded and 
unable to accept long papers, the Club has decided to begin 
a series of Memoirs, to be issued irregularly, as material 
offers. Naturally the President of the Club takes the initia¬ 
tive, and commences with a very interesting paper, divided
