Some species were found new to British Columbia, and there are many records of interest as regards distribution. The comments under each species are condensed; including little more than brief statements of the manner of occurrence. On pages 17 and 18 of the 1914 report is a list of errata in the Okanagan paper. These are mostly corrections of names used, in most instances closely related subspecies having been confused. It seems a pity that papers of such value and of such general interest should be buried in museum reports where they are lost to those most interested. They have evidently escaped the notice of even so thorough and careful a searcher of ornithological literature as is the reviewer of the Auk! Also but scant justice is done to either collection or author, for statements must be condensed to the utmost, and many interesting phases of the collections passed over without comment. The exceedingly brief account of the nesting of the Bohemian Waxwing in the Atlin district, where four sets of eggs were found, is 'but one instance of many, of facts of life history, manner of occurrence, etc., that would bear carefully detailed treatment. In these same annual reports there are included similarly abbreviated lists of mammals, insects, etc., from the Atlin and Okanagan districts. While the subject matter of these various lists is, as far as it goes, evidently authoritative and a welcome addition to our knowledge of the biota of the regions involved, the editorial treatment of the papers can not be commended. While care has been taken to ascertain the proper names of the species listed, punctuation and general typographical treatment of these names is not uniform, nor do they accord with current usage. Also there are many errors of typography throughout the several papers.-H. S. SWARTH.
