Since ascertained to inhabit North America, while one hundred and fifty have been removed from the former list as being extralimital, invalid or otherwise untenable. Of whatever part the author may have taken in remodelling the list, it would be Obviously indelicate to speak. But he cannot refrain from alluding to the Signal services Of reform rendered by Mr. Allen, Of Cambridge, whose stauch advocacy, under circum stances that might have excused fiinching, did so much to precipitate the changes, long while progressing and inevi table, for which the time was at length at hand. Nor would this allusion be entirely just, did he not in the same connection refer to the thorough revision now making by Prof. Baird him self, with the cooperation Of Dr. Brewer and Mr. Ridgway, the results Of which are about to appear in what promises to be one Of the greatest monuments ever erected to American ornithology.

The outlook promises well, when different premises lead up to the same conclusions, and con?icting views are reconciled.

It is with the deepest regret we announce that Dr. Elliott Coues, the author and editor of the various works on Western Exploration which it has been our privilege to publish, passed away to his final resting place December 25, 1899. Though suffering great pain, he with cheerful courage revised the last proofs and wrote the Introduction to this his final work.We have not to do here with his place as a student and historian of Western history and the Western country, nor of the value of the fifteen volumes of which he was the author-editor; but we deem it a duty and a pleasure publicly to testify our appreciation of him from a publisher's point of view.Our acquaintance with Dr. Coues commenced in 1892, when we suggested his revising and editing a new edition of "Lewis and Clark Expedition." From that time until his death we have been almost in daily communication with him, and never had a single misunderstanding of any kind.
