The work also includes a disqui-sition on the faunal divisions of Brazil as determined from 

 its Ornis. Four subregions are laid down, and mapped, with tabular exhibits of their charac- 

 teristic species. These are tenned the Columbian, Amazonian, South Brazilian, and Chileno- 

 Patagonian. The summary list of 1.680 Brazilian speciesis compiled from various sources, as 

 Maximilian, Spix, Burmeister, and Wallace.

• ■ John Xatterer has been called a model ti-aveller, and the most energetic and successful 

 ornithological collector that ever lived. He explored Brazil from 1817 to 1835, securing 12,293 

 bird-.skins, beautifully prepared and fully labelled, representing about 1,200 spp., besides 

 registering various additional items of information. He died in his prime, on his return to 

 Europe, leaving his collection, almost untouched, in the Imperial Cabinet of Zoology at Vienna. 

 For nearly thirty years little was done to render his labors available in the cause of science, 

 though instances of 'Xatt. MSS." were of not infrequc'nt occurrence in different quarters. 

 Upon the accession of Pelzeln to the charge of the collection, he began to work upon the 

 material, and publish the results, with selections from batterer's MSS. HLs numerous papers, 

 which were received with favor, may be considered preliminary to the j)resent work, which 

 undertakes a complete exposition of Xatterer's labors and results."
