Mr. P. L. Sclater on the Arrangement of the Galbiilidte. 73 



Excluding therefore the Galbuloides, we have at present no less 

 than twenty species of the family GalhuJidce, all inhabiting the tro- 

 pical portions of South America. One only of these birds is found 

 outside the Isthmus of Panama, and none occur on the western side 

 of the Andean range. Azara includes none among the birds of 

 Paraguay, and two only range so far south as the Brazilian provinces 

 of Rio and S. Paolo. The true home of these birds seems to be the 

 hot, low forests of Guiana and the Amazons, where the number of 

 species attains its greatest development.
