I»l.TjBf.S«'ATI©.\S REff,ATIIV« T© BRIT- I!§H RIRD!^. My BR. ELS^IOTT COUES, U. S. A. The zlppendix to the "Birds of the Colorado Yalley- (pp. 507 [lJ-784 [218]), which gives the titles of "Faunal Publications" relating to North American Birds, is to be considered as the first instalment of a "Uni- versal Bibliography of Ornithology''. The second instalment occupies pp. 230-330 of the " Bulletin of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories 'V Yol. Y, No. 2, Sept. G, 1879, and similarly gives the titles of "Faunal Publications" relating to the Birds of the rest of America.. The.third instalment, which occnpies the same "Bulletin", same Yol.,, No. 4 (in press), consists of an entirely different set of titles, being those belonging to the "systematic" department of the whole Bibliography^ in so far as America is concerned. Here come the titles of all publica- tions relating to particular species, genera, or families of American Birds, systematically arranged, hy families, and in chronological order. These three previous instalments represent a nearly complet^^ Bibli- ogi-aphy of American Ornithology. This present, /o«r^A, instalment of the worlv is of the same character as the first two: that is, it relates to "regional" or "faunal" as distin- guished from "systematic" ornithology; and it undertakes to do for British Birds what the first two did for American. That is to say: here belong the titles of all publications treating of British Birds as such, exclusively, and indiscriminately or collectively. In publishing these preliminary instalments, it is necessary to draw a hard and fast line between those titles which are and those which are not to be found in each one of them—a line which would be very evident to one cognizant of the plan of the whole Bibliography, though by no means obvious at first sight. It is therefore necessary for me to bo exjjlicit here. In order to fall within the scope, of this fourth instalment, a publica- 3G0 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. tion must relate to Britisli Birds as such. Secoudly, it nuist relate to British Birds exclusively. Thirdly, it must relate to liritish Birds of more thau one species, geuus or family. For, tirst, a i)ublicatiou ou, say, LaruH (jlaucus and Tringa canutus as observed in Greenland does not belong- here, though both these species are British Birds. For, sec- ondly, a work on the Birds of Europe does not belong here, though including all British Birds. For, thirdly, a paper on the occurrence of Ph(daro])us lujpcrhoreus in Great Britain, or one on the habits of Lar/ojms scoticus, does not belong here, as the scheme of the whole work carries one of these to Fhalaroiwdidcv, the other to Tdraonkla\\\\ the "system- atic" department of the whole Bibliography; though a paper on Pha- Jaropits liyperhoreus and Lagopus scoticus as observed in Great Britain would belong here, being a "faunal" publication, and a "British" one. This instalment, like (hose which have preceded it. is to be considered only in the light of published proof-sheets, to be canceled on the final appearance of the whole work. They are thus published in advance for several reasons—among others, both to render available certain depart- ments of the Bibliography which approach completion, and are therefore useful as far as they go, and to invite suggestions and criticisms for the bettering of the whole work. This British list is prepared with the «ame great care to secure good results which was bestowed upon previous instalments, and it is hoped that the severe tests to which it will doubt- less be subjected will prove it to be no less accurate than its predecessors have been found to be. Accurate, as far as it goes, I believe it to be; but I know it to be very incomplete. I do not think that it contains more than one-half as many titles as belong to this department of the Bibliography. I earnestly hope that the omissions, as well as any other defects that publication of my manusciipt discloses,. may be brought to my notice by those interested in the completion of the work. There are numberless historical, statistical, geographical, agricultural, even political publications, which contain lists or other notices of British Birds, no hint of the fact being given in their respective titles; and it is my aim to include everything that claims to be ornithological by a formal heading of any sort. Very few of these "by-ways of bibliog- raphy " have been accessible to me in America. Xor have [ ever been able to lay hands on a file of The Fidd, nor have 1 indexed certain peri- odicals past 1874. These sources, to say nothing of others I could men- tion, should yield upwards of a thousand titles not here given. I am so fully aware of the deficiencies of this instalment that criticism on this score would l)e futile. My manner of arranging the titles, moreover, is accoixling to the plan of the whole work, scarcely to be appreciated as yet. But these two points aside, I ask for, and hope to receive, the severest criticism to which such literary work can be subjected. I should esteem it a great favor to receive back this i^amphlet from ibs possessor with any errors corrected, any omissions supi)lied, or any bettering of my comments on the publications the titles of which are here given; PEOC'EEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 361 and 1 sliould be luippy to recoguizc sucli courtesy by returning- a copy of the whole Bibliography as soou as published. lu couducting this work, I habitually regard The Title as inviolable, —to be transcribed in full, verhatm, literatim et xnmotuatim.

Except in certain cases, where the contrary is expressly stated, no title in this Bihlioijraphij has been tal-en at second-hand. Many friends, both in England .and in my own country, have been pleased to express their interest in this work, and their hope for its successful completion. To each of them, I beg to tender my sincere thanks : and I may be permitted here to refer, in an especial manner, to the encouragement, advice and assistance which I have constantly- received, during years of toil, from Professor Alfred Kewton, of Mag- dalene College, Cambridge.

CHU Department of Biology and Museum of Zoology The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Abstract. Strauch’s (1978) compatibility analysisof relationshipsamong the shorebirds (Charadriifonnes) was the first study to examine the full range of charadriifonn taxa in a reproducibleway. SubsequentlyMickevich and Parenti (1980) leveled seriouscharges against Strauch’s characters,method of phylogenetic inference, and results. To account for these charges,Strauch ’s characterswere re-examined and recoded, and parsimony analyseswere performed on the revised matrix. A parsimony analysison 74 taxa from the revised matrix yielded 855 shortesttrees, each length = 286 and consistencyindex = 0.385. In each shortest tree there were two major lineages,a lineageof sandpiper-likebirds and a lineageof plover- like birds; the two formed a monophyletic group, with the auks (Alcidae) being that group’s sister taxon. The shortest trees were then compared with other estimates of shorebird re- lationships, comparison suggestingthat the chargesagainst Strauch’s results may have re- sulted from the Mickevich and Parenti decisions to exclude much of Strauch’s character evidence. Key words: Charadrilformes; phylogeny; compatibility analysis: parsimony analysis; tax- onomic congruence.

Situated on the River Pol, four miles west of the major resort of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and port of Plymouth, it has a picturesque fishing harbour lined with tightly packed houses which make it a popular tourist location in the summer months. The village retains almost all of its 17th Century architectural charm and has been a working fishing port since the 13th Century. This peaceful fishing cove was once a thriving centre for the area's smuggling. Today, in cellars where furtive smugglers once dodged the Customs Officer’s muskets, you can see displays of local crafts and fishermen's smocks, or dine in style at one of Polperro's excellent restaurants. Fishing trips or pleasure cruises can be arranged from the quayside, or one can take the cliff path to explore the secluded smuggling coves of Talland and Lantivet Bay. With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats packed tightly into a steep valley on either side of the River Pol, the quaint colour-washed cottages and twisting streets, Polperro offers surprises at every turn: the Saxon and Roman bridges, the famous House on Props, The Old Watch House, the fish quay, and the 16th Century house where Dr.

    J. Soc. Biblphy not. Hist. (1980) 9 (4): 477-501 Hugh Cuming (1791-1865) Prince of collectors By S. PETER DANCE South Bank House, Broad Street, Hay-on-Wye, Powys INTRODUCTION A combination of superabundant energy, unquenchable enthusiasm and endless opportunity was responsible for the remarkable increase in our knowledge of the natural world during the nineteenth century. For every man of action prepared to risk his life in foreign parts there was a dozen armchair students eager to publish descriptions and illustrations of the plants and animals he brought home. Among nineteenth-century men of action few con- tributed as much to the material advance of natural history as Hugh Cuming (1791 —1865) and none has received such an unequal press. A widely accepted picture of the man is contained in a popular and much acclaimed book1 published in the 1930s: The research after the rare, a quasi-commercial, quasi-scientific research, is typified, glorified and carried to the point of exhausting the fun of the game, in the career of the excellent Englishman Hugh Cuming, a wealthy amateur, who set out in a private yacht to cruise the world for new shells, some- thing to tickle the jaded fancy of the European collector in his castle or parsonage or shell-shop. In the Philippines Cuming sent native collectors into the jungles after tropical tree snails, and saw one fellow returning with a sack full from which specimens (every one possibly a genus new to science) were dribbling carelessly along the jungle floor. On a reef in the South Seas (which has since been destroyed by a hurricane) he came on eight living shells of the 'Glory-of-the-Sea'.

  • Jerdon's Courser, Once Thought to Be Extinct (Ripley 1952,1982, King 1981)
    山階鳥研報 (J. Yamashina Inst. Ornith.), 21: 165-174, 1989 Systematics, Biogeography, and Conservation of Jerdon's Courser Rhinoptilus bitorquatus S. Dillon Ripley* and Bruce M. Beehler* Abstract A cladistic analysis of Jerdon's Courser (Rhinoptilus bitorquatus) and eight allied taxa supports the validity of the Afro-Asian genus Rhinoptilus and indicates that the sister-species of the Indian relict bitorquatus is the Three-banded Courser (Rhinoptilus cinctus) of eastern Africa. The present distribution of these two sister forms is evidence for a former biotic link between peninsular India and the savanna habitats of eastern Africa. This distributional trend is corroborated by an additional list of forty-three species or sister-species pairs that exhibit this Afro-Indian pattern. We believe that these data support the notion that there once existed an Afro-Indian fauna that inhabited what was probably a continuous belt of savanna from southern Africa to southern India. The recovery plan for the critically-endangered Jerdon's Courser should include at- tempts to develop a captive population of R. cinctus, which could then be used to rear eggs taken from wild populations of bitorquatus. Captive breeding, in concert with local educa- tion and efforts to expand protected areas of prime habitat, offers the most promising in- tegrated strategy for the species' recovery. Introduction Jerdon's Courser, once thought to be extinct(Ripley 1952,1982, King 1981),was rediscoveredin the hillsof southern Andhra Pradesh in January 1986 (Bhushan 1986a, 1986b). Although itis impossibleto presentlygive an accurateestimate of the distribu- tion and sizeof thisremnant population,the assumption is that the species'numbers are few and probably dissectedinto tiny subpopulations.

Vicar of Buckland Dinham, Member of the British Ornitho- logists' Union, and one of the authors of" The Birds of DevonT WHEN Mr. Cecil Smith published his Birds of Somerset, in 1869, he was able to record but 217 species, to which he subsequently added ten others in a list contributed by him to Vol. xvi of the Transactions of the Somerset Archaaological and Natural History Society (for 1870), thus bringing the total number of birds for Somerset to 227. But even this number appears inadequate to repre- sent the Ornis of so large a county as Somerset, when it is compared with the lists which have been made out for the adjoining counties. Thus for Wiltshire, a county which comes far behind Somerset in geographical importance, as it possesses no coast line, the Rev. A. Smith was able to . C. enumerate 235 species ; in Dorsetshire, Col. Mansel-Pleydell, as was to be expected, had a fuller list, numbering 254 species, to which we are able to add three others, thus bringing the Dorsetshire county birds to a total of 257 ; while for Devon- shire, which has a sea frontage both on the north and south, as many as 300 species can be claimed.

    Altaf et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:41 DOI 10.1186/s13002-017-0168-5 RESEARCH Open Access Ethnomedicinal and cultural practices of mammals and birds in the vicinity of river Chenab, Punjab-Pakistan Muhammad Altaf1*, Arshad Javid2, Muhammad Umair3, Khalid Javed Iqbal4, Zahid Rasheed5 and Arshad Mehmood Abbasi6* Abstract Background: Although, use of animal species in disease treatment and culture practices is as ancient as that of plant species; however ethnomedicinal uses and cultural values of animal species have rarely been reported. Present study is the first report on the medicinal uses of mammals and bird species in Pakistan.
