302 Mr. J. F. Hamilton on Brazilian Birds. 



of Colaptes campestris, of which I did not preserve a spe- 

 cimen, have been identified by Mr. Salvin, to whom my best 

 thanks are due. 



1. TURDUS LEUCOMELAS, Vleill. 



Common about the open campos round Sao Paulo, especially 

 where there are a few clumps of bushes. I noticed it several 

 times feeding on marshy ground. 



2. Parula pitiayumi (Vieill.). 



Found at the tops of trees about twenty feet high in the 

 neighbourhood of Sao Paulo. 



3. Basileuterus vermivorus (Vieill.). 



Tolerably common, and not at all shy ; they will follow any 

 one along a path for a considerable distance, hopping from log 

 to log, and never remaining more than a few seconds in the same 

 place. They do not seem at all to frequent the depths of the 

 forests^ but affect the edges of clearings, creeping about among 

 the stems of the fallen trees. I never saw one perched on a tree 

 at any height from the ground. 



4. VlREOSYLVIA ACxILIS (Licht.). 



Tolerably common in the gardens of Sao Paulo. 



5. Certhiola chloropyga, Cab. 



Observed in the Botanical Gardens at Sao Paulo, creeping 

 about at the tree-tops, and peering into the crevices in the bark 

 and at the bases of leaves. 



6. EUPHONIA VIOLACEA (L.) . 



Two specimens were shot off some low bushes standing in an 

 open space of ground. 



7. EuPHONiA PECTORALis (Lath.). 



This species I noticed in bushes, about five or ten feet from 

 the ground. 



8. Calliste festiva (Shaw). 



I met with this species at the top of the Serra south of Sao 

 Paulo along the line of railroad, and also south of Itapetininga. 

 They were in small flocks at a height of from five to ten feet
