Dr. E. A. Goeldi, Director of the Para Museum of Natural 

 History and Ethnography, who is always endeavouring to 

 spread the knowledge of Natural History in his adopted 

 country, has recently issued the first part of an " Album " 

 of Amazonian Birds. It contains twelve coloured plates, on 

 which are depicted some of the most characteristic species of 

 the feathered inhabitants of the country, associated in groups 

 of allied forms. The work is intended as a sort of illustrated 

 supplement to the author's lately completed 'Aves do lirasiP 

 {cf. 'Ibis,^' 1901, p. 501).

Dr. Hagmann gives an interesting account of the Zoolo- 

 gical Garden attached to the Goeldi Museum at Para, which 

 is said to be one of the great attractions of that flourishing- 

 city. The institution was founded in 1893 as the " Museu 

 Paraense," but subsequently had its name changed to 

 '' Museu Goeldi,^' in honour of its energetic Pounder and 

 Director, Dr. E. A. Goeldi. 



The various buildings in the Garden and their inhabitants 

 are described, and a systematic list is given of the Vertebrate 

 Animals exhibited during the past six years. Among the 

 birds we observe the names of Harpyia destructor, Nolkocrax 

 'urumutum, Hcllornis fulica, and of three species of Psophia.
