Since the text has been printed off, several new species have been described, and of these it is necessary to mention at least the following;–
Archaeopteryx siemensi, from Solenhofen, where the original form was obtained.–(Dames.)
Euryapteryx exilis (Dinornithidae); a new genus, Anomalornis, is also proposed for Anomalopteryx (preoccupied).–(Hutton.)
Ammoperdix cholmleyi (Phasianidae), from Suakin.–(Ogilvie-Grant.)
Cepphus snowi (Alcidae), from the Kurile Is.–(Stejneger.) The range of C. columba will now be "Bering Sea to California;" and of C. carbo "North-East Asia and Japanese Seas."
Podoces pleskii (Corvidae), from East Persia.–(Zarudny.)
Some new fossil forms from Patagonia.–(Mercerat.)
Mr. F. E. Blaauw has published a Monograph of the Cranes, and Mr. C. W. de Vis has described the eggs and young of Salvadorina (Anatidae).
In all these cases the Zoological Record for 1897 may be consulted.
