 Rowdier Sharpe. Journ. Proc. Linn. Soc, Zool. xvi. p. ^22 (Marcli 2,

89. Weyenbergh on Birds in the Cordova Museum. 



[Oatalogo de la Coleccion de pajaros, Por Dr. H. Weyenbergh. Pe- 

 riodico zoologico, Cordoba, tomo iii. p. 311.] 



In his eighth report upon the Zoological Museum of the 

 National University of Cordova (Argentine Republic) ^ Dr. 

 Weyenbergh gives a rough catalogue of the birds in the col- 

 lection. There are said to lie 491 specimens, referable to 243 

 species ; but a. great number of these are undetermined, and 

 some of the names are unknown to us. The species thus 

 designated will be described later if they 'shall prove to be 

 really new. The occurrence of a Cinches in Tucuman, if 

 authentic, is of great interest.
