received in Europe from Emperor-WilliamVLand, as the 
German portion of New Guinea is now called. This was 
made by the well-known French traveller Laglaize at Kafu, on 
the north coast, in 143° 15' E. long. Two species ( Paradisea 
fins chi, Meyer, and Cyclopsittacus edwardsi, Oust.) had pre¬ 
viously been described from the same locality. These, added 
to the 24 of which examples were in Laglaize^s collection, 
make the total number of species as yet known from Lifu 26, 
of which the list is here given. Besides these, Salvadori 
(Atti R. Ac. Sc. Torino, xiii. p. 317) has recorded 16 species 
of birds obtained on Tarawai Island, off the north coast of 
New Guinea, which is probably within the limits of the 
recent^German acquisitions. But there is some little un¬ 
certainty as to the identification of this little-known island 
(or islands ?).

These numbers are mostly occupied with local ornitho¬ 
logical papers and translations. No. 10 contains an article 
of wider interest, on the birds of New Zealand, by A. Reis- 
chek, of Auckland, in which good original observations on 
the various Petrels of New Zealand are given.

In the first paper Prof. Mojsisovics gives us an interesting 
account of his excursion to Southern Hungary and Sclavonia 
in May 1884, when he visited some of the great breeding- 
places of Ardeidse and other aquatic birds on the Danube 
and Save. At Nestin, near Illok, on the Danube, an estate
