Not counting tbese latter birds the present collection 

 contains 189 different species and subspecies. Moreover, there 

 are in the populär account of bis travels, publisbed by Dr. 

 BovALLius 1887 (Resa i Central-America 1881—1883. 2. vols. 

 Upsala 1887), some remarks about birds and bird-life. In 

 the following list I have only quoted those, about which I 

 could with certainty decide to wich species the statements 

 wore to be referred. These comprehend 10 further species. 

 Thus the number of species mentioned in my paper is 199, 

 divided as follows: 



Panama 28 species (skins of 27, references about 1); 

 Costa Rica 73 species (resp. 69 + 4); Nicaragua 139 spe- 

 cies (resp. 130+9). 



The localities, at which the birds were collected, are the 

 following: 



Bitéi, in Talamanca, Costa Rica. Great Indian village 

 at Rio Bitéi, a tributary to Rio Estrella. 



Castillo Viejo. Nicaragnan village at the San Juan 

 river, abont 130 km from San Juan del Norte. Castillo is situ- 

 ated close to the boundary between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. 

 Dr. BovALLius says about the nature in the vicinity: »AU 

 heights round Castillo were cleared and covered with a dense 



grass- vegetation. In the immediate vicinity of the village 



there were several plantations of maize and banana-trees.» 



Caymito River, Panama; falling into the Chorrera Bay 

 on the Pacific side. The banks are covered with mangrove- 

 trees as far as the sea-water reaches at high tide, or about 



3 km. Inside the mangroves there is a rich palm-vegetation. 



Charco Verde, a double lagoon in the Ometepe Island, 

 south of the Volcano. 



Ciste Island, an islet in the Lake of Nicaragua, close to 

 the Ometepe Island. 



Culebra. Between Panama and Colon. 



Estrella. A river in Talamanca, Costa Rica. It falls 

 into the Caribbean Sea about 9—10 km north-west of Punta 

 Calmita. 



Gmokul, a small plantation at the western side of 

 Tilire River in Talamanca, C R., between the outflow of 

 Rio Culebras o Dorados and Rio Uren. 



Granada, a town at the western shore of the Lake of 

 Nicaragua, near the northern end of that lake.
