from the vicinity of Bucaramanga^ in Colombia^ on whicli 

 district almost the only previous authority was Mr. Wyatt^s 

 paper in this Journal (^ Ibis/ 1871, p. 113). Of 151 species 

 enumerated and commented upon (of which 136 also occur 

 in collections from Bogota) three are described as new — 

 Thnjophilus minlosi, Pcecilotriccus lenzi, and PhyoUmyias 

 cristatus. The two former are also figured. Pcecilotriccus 

 is a new genus of TyrannidsBj to be placed between Todi- 

 rostrum and Euscarthmus, and contains also Tod. ruficeps of 

 Bogota and Tod. rufigene of Ecuador. 



51. Bidwell on Sabine's Gull. 



[On the Occurrence of Saljine's Gull {Xema sahinii) in Adult Plumage 

 in the Isle of Mull. By Edward BidweU. Proc. E. Phys. Soc. Edinb., 

 Session 1883-84, p. 131.] 



Although many immature examples of Sabine's Gull have 

 been obtained in the British Islands^ and a certain number on 

 the Continent^ yet only five specimens in breeding-plumage 

 are recorded^ and the localities ascribed to some of them are 

 open to doubt. The above-mentioned bird and one shot in 

 Bridlington Bay on 10th August^ 1872, are the only instances 

 of adults in Britain ; and an adult was obtained on the coast 

 of Brittany on the 25th August_, 1872, just fifteen days later.

52. W. Blasius on a new Trumpeter.

 phia cantatrix, Boeck, in Utt.). Von Prof. Dr. Wilh. Blasius. J. f. 0. 

 1884, p. 203.] 



This supposed new species is described from information 

 received from Prof. Eugen von Boeck, Director of the 

 Central School in Cochabamba. The bird in question is 

 found on the Mamore and Beni rivers, and would seem to 

 come nearest to Ps. leucoptera, if it be not identical with 

 that species.
