Most of the notes relate to European birds; but there are a
few on exotic species [Psittacidae, Ampelidce].
ELWES, H. J., & BUCKLEY, T. E. A List of the Birds of
Turkey. Tom. cit. pp. 59-77, 188-201, 327-343.
A very useful paper, giving, for the first time, a full list of all
the species of this part of Europe. The authors also enumerate
such contributions to Turkish ornithology as have before appeared,
and add to what was already known on the subject some
capital field-notes of their own.
FISCHER, JOHANN VON. Die Vogel des St. Petersburger Gouvernement.
Zool. Gart. 1870, pp. 344-352.
A useful paper, as hitherto no good general account of the
birds of this part of Russia existed.

1870, pp. 303-310.
Beyond the brief account (Bull. Petersb. iii. p. 343) of Von
Baer's visit in 1837, nothing has been known of the zoology of
this country. Twenty-eight species are enumerated, of which
four were not fully determined. Ten of them are not recorded by
Von Baer, who observed in all twenty-four species, six of which
were not noticed by Mr. Gillett.

The ornithological part of this model work is an amplification
of the author's former paper (Zool. Rec. iii. p. 50).

their nidification.

The two customary parts of this beautiful work bear the dates
of August 1st and September 1st. The species figured are mentioned
under the families to which they belong.

Ornitholology takes up about half of this book, the author of
which has good opportunities for outdoor observation; and his
records of capture include several species of considerable rarity
in England.
