la the years 1882 and 1883 the late Docent at the Uni- 

 versity of Upsala, Dr. Carl Bovallius, made a jonrney in 

 Central America, chiefly for zoological purposes. 



The ornithological collections brought honie by him from 

 this expedition were for the main part obtained by the 

 State Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, while a 

 small part of the same came into the possession of the Zoo- 

 logical Museum of the R. University of Upsala. The former 

 remained, however, partly approximately determined, partly 

 undetermined, until the removal of the State Museum to its 

 new building, when at the arrangement of the collections the 

 First Intendant, Professor Dr. E[nar Lönnberg entrusted 

 me with the task of revising and determining the birds col- 

 lected by Dr. Bovallius. The result of this revision is put 

 forth in the present paper. 



The birds from the same expedition which belong to 

 the Zooi. Museum of Upsala were also looked över by me 

 and are indicated in the following list with U. Z. M. 



Dr. Bovallius made his collections in the states of Pa- 

 nama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. He also visited the Las 

 Perlas Archipelago, but about the birds, collected by him on 

 these islands, I am preparing a separate paper.
