The Great Horned Owl. By F. N. Whitman.—Account of nest and young.
Under ‘Migration and Plumages of North American Birds’ the Ravens are
considered, and there is the usual large collection of Christmas lists.
=The Condor.= XX, No. 6. November-December, 1918.
Nesting of the Rocky Mountain Jay. By W. C. Bradbury.—A valuable
account with numerous illustrations of the bird, its nest, eggs, and
haunts.
Description of a new Lanius from Lower California. By Harry C.
Oberholser.—_Lanius ludovicianus nelsoni_ (p. 209), Todos Santos.
Mr. P. A. Taverner has a letter explaining his practice of employing
only binomial nomenclature until the necessary specimens and

bird in question belongs (see beyond p. 316).
=The Condor.= XXI, No. 1. January-February, 1919.
A Return to the Dakota Lake Region. By Florence Merriam Bailey.—A
continuation of this delightful article.
The Solitaires of Shasta. By W. Leon Dawson.—Good account of the bird
and its nesting, with illustrations from photographs.
Nesting of the Short-eared Owl in Western Washington. By E. A.
Kitchin.—Good illustrations of nest and young.
Problem: Do Birds Mate for Life? By J. Eugene Law.—The same suggestion
is made, among others, as is offered in ‘The Auk,’ p. 138, in comment
on a paper of similar title by F. C. Willard. A further extended
comment on the same paper follows Mr. Law’s, which is by N. K.
Carpenter and supports Mr. Willard, although the evidence except in one
instance is no more convincing than was his.
Parasitism of Nestling Birds by Fly Larvæ. By O. E. Plath.—This is a
valuable account of the same parasites referred to in a letter of Dr.
W. W. Arnold in ‘The Auk’ for January, 1919, p. 147, giving a much
fuller history of the insect.
=Wilson Bulletin.= XXX, No. 4. December, 1918.
Finding the Nest of the Knot. By W. Elmer Erkblaw.—On the Crocker Land
Expedition, in 1916. Eggs now in the American Museum of Natural History.
Migration Records for Kansas Birds. By Bessie P. Douthitt.—This
instalment covers the water birds only. The nomenclature does not
follow the A. O. U. List but seems to be a compilation from various
authors who have ideas of their own on this subject. The result is
rather startling. In the Cranes for instance, the author divides our
three species, which everyone has regarded as congeneric, into two
groups _Limnogeranus_ and _Grus_, names which by the way are synonyms.
As we have stated before we can see no result but confusion in
departing from the generally recognized A. O. U. names in local lists
of North American species.
Revisory Notes on the List of the Birds of Nebraska. By Myron W.
Swenk.—In this list too we find names which have not been authorized by

countries mentioned which have been presented to the Museum by Mr.
Oldfield Thomas; as well as the Goodfellow Ecuador Collection and one
made by the late Lord Brabourne in northwestern Peru.
The following new forms are described. _Crypturus garleppi affinis_
(p. 8), Rio Blanca, Bolivia; _Chamœpetes goudotii antioquiana_ (p.
22), Valdivia, Antioquia, Colombia; _Odontophorus guianensis simonsi_

tribute to the work, with some important criticism on the value of
certain races there recognized.
On the Eclipse Plumage of _Sporophila pileata_. By F. E. Blaauw.—Has
distinct winter and summer plumages.
List of the Birds of the Canary Islands, with Detailed Reference
to the Migratory Species and the Accidental Visitors.—Part I.
Corvidæ-Sylviidæ. By David A. Bannerman.—This is a remarkably complete
treatment of the subject, the author having made an exhaustive study of
the literature and taken a number of trips to the islands. The present
publication is preliminary to a proposed book on the subject.
In the reviews the editor of ‘The Ibis’ honors us by crediting ‘The
Auk’ with some 300 more pages than actually appeared in the 1918
volume; we hope however that ere long we may be able to live up to his
generous allowance!

Jackson.—Northern Phalarope, Stilt, Avocet and Godwit. Concluded in the
next number, which contains the Curlew, Snipe and Woodchuck.
=Avicultural Magazine.= X, No. 3. January, 1919.
Colour Change in the Plumage of Birds. By Dr. V. G. L. Van Someren.—A
most important reply to a paper by Dr. A. G. Butler which claimed color
change in a Weaver Bird (_Pyromelana_) and referred to _Turacus_ as
a good illustration of the passing of pigment up the vanes of fully
formed feathers. The author states that numerous experiments with
the crimson feathers of the latter genus from both skins and living
birds failed to show any loss of color. Similar experiments in the
Philadelphia Zoölogical Garden, it might be added, resulted in the same
way. In regard to the Weaver, all Dr. Van Someren’s birds effected
the change by molt as might be expected, and they ate many of the
feathers which accounts for the lack of cast feathers in many accounts
of supposed color change. These observations should settle this vexed
question.
=Avicultural Magazine.= X, No. 2. December, 1918.
The Pigeons of the Gambia. By E. Hopkinson.
=The Emu.= XVIII, Part III. January, 1919.

An interesting account of a trip through Western Queensland with a list
of the birds observed. Illustrations of the nest, eggs and young of the
Kite.
Notes on Birds from the Gouldian-Gilbert Type Locality, North
Australia. By A. J. Campbell.—This paper is an account of a collection
made by Wm. McLennan near Port Essington, the spot where Gilbert
collected so many of the birds described by Gould. In commenting on the
type localities quoted by Mr. Mathews, the author calls attention to
the fact that they do not always agree with those given by Gould in his
original descriptions, in the ‘Proceedings’ of the Zoölogical Society.
Mr. Campbell would do well to consult the paper prepared by Mr. Mathews
and the editor of ‘The Auk.’ (Austral Avian Record, Vol. I, No. 6-7),
in which the history of the Gould collection is given and individual
specimens selected as the types. The collection is not at Washington,
as Mr. Campbell supposes, but at Philadelphia, in the museum of the
Academy of Natural Sciences, where it has been ever since it left
Europe. The fact that Gould described a few birds from the northwest
coast of Australia, before Gilbert reached Pt. Essington, as stated by
Mr. Campbell, is interesting and would seem to indicate that the latter
should not be quoted as the type locality. In such cases, when all the
specimens were labelled Pt. Essington, we selected one of them as the
type, as it seemed likely that the labelling might be inaccurate and no
other possible types seemed to be in existence.

to explain the meaning of the various prefixes and suffixes proposed,
we may say that the Puffin, _Fratercula arctica_ appears, as
