 birds. An annotated list of 91 species of birds 

 observed in Colombia, and an additional list of 

 38 species of hummingbirds from Bogota are 

 given ; also a list, with notes, of 23 species ob- 

 served on the island of Cura9ao. Pall bibli- 

 ographies of works relating to Colombia and to 

 Curasao are appended, and lists of maps and 

 zoological papers and works. Many illustra- 

 tions are given in the text, and the following 

 birds are illastrated by colored plates: Ham- 

 2>hastos citreolaimus, Psittaeula perspicillata,, 

 Eupsychortyx leucotis, and Icterus xanthornus

 A review of the literature upon the subject, 

 and adding two apparently new cases of a 

 complete fibula in birds; the one being Plotits 

 anhinga, and the other Sula piscator. Fig. 1 

 represents, natural size, the right tibio-tarsus 

 and fibula of Plotus anhinga, and fig. 2 the 

 corresponding bones as found in a skeleton of 

 Sula piscator. These specimens are in the 

 U. S. National Museum, and exhibit very 

 clearly the condition described. 



On the affinities of the Stegano- 



podes. 



Proc. Zool. Soc. Land., Feb. 20, 1894, pub-

 The affinities liere suggested are based upon 

 a study of all the skeletons of Steganopodous 

 birds in the collections of the U. S. National 

 Museum, as well as those in the private cabi- 

 net of the author. Many comparisons are 

 made with related groups. The present itrief 

 paper is simply au abstract made from the 

 original M SS. and giving the taxononiic sclieiue 

 for the group.
