In the prospectus of the Quarterly Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, it is stated that "papers received from resident and corresponding members of the club, together with such matter pertaining to birds as may be gathered from other sources, will make up the contents. It is proposed to issue 16 pages quarterly. Starting, however, with 28, we hope to receive sufficient aid to warrant the continuation of a like number, and to make the work at least self-supporting." $1 per year. Published by H. B. Bailey, 13 Exchange Place, Boston.

The American Catholic Quarterly Review takes the place of the defunct Quarterly Review edited by the late Dr. Orestes A. Brownson. The new periodical, however, will occupy a wider field than its predecessor, embracing within its scope not only theological, philosophical, and political, but also historical, scientific, and literary discussions. It has a strong editorial staff, and among its contributors are the foremost Catholic littérateurs and scholars of the United States and England. $5 per year. Philadelphia: Hardy & Mahony, 505 Chestnut Street.
