" When I left I 'a)'enne for Georgetown I took the collection with me as 

 personal bagtrage, tliinking I wonld be able to ship the same from the latter 

 point. For I had not half believed the story that the Royal Mail would not 

 accept the shipment — inasmuch as the collection was not made in Demerara. 

 Bnt I found it actually true, and was comjiellcd to bring the entire collection 

 to New York in order to ship to England." 



Under these circumstances ornithologists may congratulate themselves that 

 some twenty years ago Mr. Whitely had made extensive collections in British 

 Guiana, and that they were worked out by the late Osbert Salvin, as other- 

 wise the prospects of getting birds from there for scientific purjioses are not 

 very promising. 



In order to make the list of Cayenne birds as complete as possible, I have 

 added in brackets all the species which, though not collected by Mr. C'herrie, 

 are otherwise stated to be inliabitants of that country. 



8ome generalities about the birds of (.'ayeune shall be given at the end of 

 this article, or else at a later date in a separate paper.

• (1) No small Nortli American Thrush of the genus Jlylocielda luos as yet been recorded from 

 Cajenne, while in Briti.sh Guiana the late Mr. Whitely found three specie."! of it, viz. : 



1. -?/. vstulata (Nutt.). 



2. //. ftucesrciu (Stcph.). 



3. 77. alieiae (liaird). 



H. u. swainsoiii (Cab.) has been collected by the late J. Natterer near C'ucuy and Marabitanas on the 

 Rio Negro. 



(2) I do not know what Turdus poiteaui Less, ex Cayenne really is. Perhaps it might be •= 

 T. ainaurnckiiliinis Cab. (7". Iciicomdat auct.), which occurs also at Paril (coll. Snethlage). 



(S) TurduK Jlivijien Vieill. occurs in British Guiana and in Bahia collections, and is likely to be 

 found in t!ie mountainous parts of Cayenne. 



(4) Cirlili'j/sis lexKogenys Cab. is said to have come from Brazil (Bahia /), while C. giilaris Salv. & 

 Godm. is an inliabitant of British Guiana (lioraima and Merume Mts.). Perhaps (', leucai/eni/s is really a 

 Cayenn? bird I
