Earliest arrival and latest departuredates only are given even in the case of transients, but as the reviewer has shown (Condor, 1906, p. 88) dates of bulk arrival are of more significance. However, the present paper is of great interest and is a "record", in length of time, for a single observer! Wynne-Edwards, V. C.--Atlantic Seafowl. This little folder is pub- lishedby the Cunard Line and consistsof pen sketchesof 25 speciesof observedby the author--who is also the artist•n several transatlantic voyagesin 1933, with appropriatetext.

The Mocldngbird'sImitation of Other Birds. By GeorgeR. Mayfield.- One of 'the best discussionsof the subiectthat has appeared. The writer is convinced that the Mockingbird inherits its repertory from many generationsback. He divides the songsof Nashville, Tennessee,Mockers into three groups:those unlike the songsof any birds now extant; those containing imitations of the songsof birds found in other parts of .the South but not near Nashville; those conta/ning imitations of songs of birds breedingin Tennessee. Eighty percent of most Mocke•r'ssongs is of the last sort, but in somethe proportion of local songsis as low as thirty percent. The birds most frequently imitated are the Carolina Wren, Blue Jay and Cardinal, while next come the Bluebird, Tufted Tit, Martin, Red- headedWoodpecker, Flicker and SparrowHawk.

Lowe.--As a resultof a carefulstudy of adequate new material--embryos,young and adults--obtained by Mr. P. W. Reyn- olds,Dr. Lowe reachesthe conclusionthat there are certainly two species-- physiologicalspecies though they may be of this interestingbird. As is generallyknown there is a flying and a flightlessform but the former is certainly not the adolescentstage of the latter as has beenclaimed and there seemto be constantdifferences in size, relative proportionsand coloration. There/s howeverlittle or no differencein the anatomyeven of the embryos. The flightlessuessof T. brachypterusas this form ha• been named is due, saysthe author, to somephysiological factor which permanentlyretards the rate of growth of the wing to a degreethat is not normal, probably the samefactor which tempe•mrilyretards the growth of the wing in Ana- 't!daein general.

L.o. wymani and L. f. gradlsi are not recognized. We cannot see any advantage in uniting all of theseforms under a few specificgroups, too much "lunaping" is just as objectionableas too much "splitting."
