count of the welfare of our colleague, Mr. E. L. Layard, 

 whom he met with at the capital of our new Feejeean Do- 

 minion. — P. L. S. 



Corrigenda. An unfortunate misprint has been made in the 

 Supplementary number of our last volume, p. 462. Otocaris 

 should have been printed Otocoris, the name having been 

 thus written by Messrs. Blanford and Hume, whereas Oto- 

 corys {Kopv;, alauda) is the correct spelling ; we have, un- 

 fortunately, given them the credit of a still greater blunder. 

 Again, at p. 491, Mr. Brooks should have been named as the 

 author who, according to Lord Walden, had wrongly identi- 

 fied specimens oiSiphia hyperythra with ErytJirosterna parva.

Our last letter from Mr. Salvin (dated Guatemala, March 

 loth) announces his speedy return to England, via New York. 

 He had lately been into Vera Paz, as far as Coban, staying a 

 few days at San Geronimo by the way, where he had found 

 Panyptila sancti-hieronymi engaged in nest-building. Oreo- 

 phasis derbianus occurs, without doubt, in Vera Paz, several 

 specimens having been obtained in a high ridge of mountains 

 on the left bank of the Rio Negro, above the village of Chi- 

 caman in what was the department of Totonicapam, but now 

 Gueguetenango.
