Vol. XXI] Recent Literature. 429 of 6 (= 7 forms) to each, P. major and P. palustris each having I3, P. ater L, etc. The Alaskan Budytesflavus alascensis Ridgw. stands as Motacillaftava alascensis; the North American Anthes pensylvanicus as A. spinoletta fSensylvanica. Eremophila is used in place of Otocoris, since in the opinion of Mr. Hartert the generic names Rremopohilus and E-emopAhila are both tenable. It may here be also noted that froin his point of view a specific or subspecific name need not agree in gender with the generic name, it being his preference to preserve the original ending of a specific name when transferred to a genus which has a different gender ending, as in the case above of Anthus pensylvanicus, which was originally described as a species of Alauta. It may be further noted that the palearctic species of Otocoris here recognized number I5, all subspecies of altestris, as against I4 recently admitted by Oberholser, who, however, gave full specific rank to 5 of them. But in only nine cases are the same names adopted. Despite certain excentricities of treatment, Dr. Hartert's 'D ie Vogel der palaarktischen Fauna' will long prove a most useful and convenient hand-book, for which ornithologists may well feel deeply grateful.-J.
