Sliort descriptive notes are added to the name and selected 

 synonyms of each species, and the locality in S. Paulo in 

 which it occurs is stated, but no field-notes as to habits 

 and nesting are given. Two (rather doubtful) species are 

 described as new — Chrysotis schmidti, from between the 

 Rio Morto and Itapura, and Ci'ax sulcii-ostris , from the 

 eastern part of the State, concerning both of which further 

 information would be desirable. We are surprised to see 

 Palamedea cornuta in the list, as we had believed it to be 

 strictly an Amazonian species. 



From the concluding remarks in this memoir, and from a 

 paper recently communicated to the Zoological Society of 

 London, we gather that according to Dr. v. Jhering's views 

 three elements are to be found in the avifauna of S, Paulo 

 — a Northern, a Southern, and a Central. The Central 

 element, which is that of the Campos of the interior, em- 

 braces about 70 species ; the remainder, after deducting 

 about 200 species of extended distribution, being assignable 

 to the Northern or Southern Faunas. The former of these 

 is represented by species of Dunacobius, Hylophilus, Dacnis, 

 Calliste, Nemosia, Pipra, &c. ; the latter by species of 

 Poospiza, Cyanotis, Phloeocryptes, Anumbius, and other well- 

 known Argentine forms.
