Recently published Ornithological fForks. 391 



know something of their histories and habits. Mr. Butler 

 commences with the Tanagers kept in captivity, which are 

 few iu number. Only four species are included in this work, 

 but, as will be seen by reference to the Zoological Society's 

 Lists, upwards of 30 have been exhibited in their Gardens, 

 and some of them, such as the beautiful Stephanophorus 

 caruleus, might have been well added. 



The Saffron Finches, Buntings, and Grosbeaks follow after 

 the Tanagers, but we confess we do not quite understand 

 Mr. Butler's classification of them. 



Mr. Frohawk's nicely drawn plates represent the following 

 species ; — 



Part I. Culliste fastuosn, C. tatao ; Euphonia violacea ; lihamphoccelus 



brasilius ; Catyodacus erythrinus; Sycalis Jlaveola ; Serinus 



canicollis, S. sulphuratus. 

 „ II. Serinus Jiavkentris, S. icterus, S. leucopyyius; Alario alario; 



Chrysoinitris icterica ; Cyanospiza ciris, C. cyanea ; Cory- 



phospinyits pileatus, C. cristatiis. 

 „ III. Gubernatruv cristata ; Paroaria capitata, P. larvata, P. cucul- 



lata ; Cardinalis curdinalis ; Spennophila albiyularis, S. cceru- 



lescens.

 Mus. xvi. p. ICl.] 



Mr. Biittikofer describes two new Birds of Paradise, of 

 which specimens have lately been presented to the Leyden 

 Museum by ^Ir. J. Bensbach, late Resident at Ternate. He 

 names them Craspedophora bruiyni and lanthothorax (gen. 

 nov.) bensbachi. The new genus is allied to Craspedophora. 

 The Leyden Museum has also recently acquired a specimen 

 of a third species, Lamprothorax vnhehnince Meyer, from 

 the same locality.
