Abstract
THE ornithologists are certainly among the most enterprising of the seekers after truth. John Gould, the Birdman, is dead, but the same spirit which led him over the seas fifty years ago to investigate the then unknown Ornis of Australia still animates his brother bird men. Mr. Henry Seebohm—a distinguished Member the British Ornithologists' Union—has recently made two journeys into Northern Siberia, solely with the object of observing new forms and habits of bird-life and of collectipg specimens. The scientific results of these expeditions have been published in the Ibis—the organ of the British Ornithologists' Union—which is now entering upon the twenty-fifth year of its existence, whilst a most interesting and attractive general narrative of the two journeys is given in the volumes now before us.
