M. C. Abstract [No. 32] of the Proceedings OF THE LlNN^AN SOCIETY OF NeW York. For the year ending March 9, 1920, pp. 1-39. During the year covered by this Ab- stract, the Linnaean Society has held nineteen meetings with an average atten- dance of eleven members, or about 14 per cent of its resident membership. With the exception of several addresses, the matter presented before these meetings relates to local bird-life, and the data here printed doubtless will in time be incor- porated in a list of the birds of the New York region which it is announced (p. 5) will be prepared bj^ a committee of the Society. Pages 18-30 are devoted to 'A Revision of the Seaside Sparrows,' by Ludlow Griscom and J. T. Nichols, whose intensive studies of this group, indoors and out, have resulted in the description of two new races {Passerherbulus maritimus howelli, Alabama, and P. m. juncicola, northwest Florida) and more definite knowledge of the range and relations of those which were previously known. It is announced that this annual 'Ab- stract' will be succeeded by a 'Proceedings' issued as occasion requires. Pages 1-8 of the Proceedings, indeed, appeared July 15, 1920. We note that it bears the serial volume number of the Abstract and is consequently Volume XXXIII. It is devoted to descriptions of reptiles and amphibians, from the West Indies, in the American Museum. May we venture to suggest that this material should have appeared in an American Museum publica- tion, while the funds of the Linnasan Society might be employed more advan- tageously in the publication of matter relating to the fauna in which most of its members are interested.—F.
