 all from New Britain, and Sauromarptis cyanophrys, allied to

[Les Oiseaux de la Basse-Oochinclaine par M. le Dr. Gilbert Tiraut. 

 BuU. Com. Agricole de la Cocliiucliine, ser. 3, i. p. 73.] 



Dr. Tiraut gives a list of the birds met with during his 

 sojourn in Cochin-China in the years 1875-1877, when he col- 

 lected more than a thousand specimens, now in the Museum 

 of Lyons. Dr. Tiraut enumerates 353 species, and adds the 

 principal references, native names, and observations on exact 

 localities and habits as noticed, making altogether a very 

 useful account of an avifauna of which we previously knew 

 but little.
