273 Messrs. Sulvin and Sclater on the 



pterus rufiis, of Duenas ; Lanipornis prevosti, of Escuintla ; Chrtj- 

 suronia elicia, of Cobau ; Heliothrix barruti, of the northern 

 tierra caliente ; and Lamprolama rhami, of the Volcan de Fuego, 

 making altogether twenty-nine species. Three others I have not 

 been so fortunate as to meet with, namely Florisuga mellivora, 

 of the northern tierra caliente, and Delattria henrici and Selas- 

 phonis platycercus, which are said to occur in the \^olcan de 

 Fuego, on Don Vicente Constancia's authority. 



XXXIII. — Contributions to the Ornithologxj of Guatemala. By 

 OsBERT Salvin and Philip Lutley Sclater. Part II. 



[Continued from page 45.] 



During the autumn of 1859 I collected, in the vicinity of 

 Duefias on the table-land of Guatemala, and near Coban and 

 Salama in the Vera Paz, about 870 specimens of birds, belong- 

 ing to 245 different species, 39 of which are new to the fauna 

 of this country, and have not been noticed in previous papers in 

 this Journal relating to the ornithology of Central America. 

 Of these I now give the names, as determined by Mr. Sclater 

 and myself, together with my field-notes written concerning 

 them at the time they were obtained, and some joint remarks 

 on their synonymy and distribution, — O. S. 



1. TuRDUs AssiMiLis, Cab. : Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 327. 

 Duenas, August 1859. Two specimens were obtained in the 



above locality. I never met with T. leucauchen, Sclater, which 

 appears to be common in the low lands of the northern portion 

 of Vera Paz, in this part of Guatemala. 



2. TuRDUs PALLAsi, Cab. : Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 325. 

 Coban, Vera Paz, November 1859. A single specimen, ap- 

 parently of this species. 



3. Cyphorinus prostheleucus (Sclater). Scytalopus pros- 

 Iheleucus, Sclater, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 290. 



Volcan de Agua, January 1860. A single specimen, obtained 

 at an elevation of about 6500 feet, agrees nearly with Mexican 

 skins of this bird in Sclatcr's collection.
