collection from the šame country, which he has kindly submitted to 

 my inspection. This was made in the district of S. Andrės Tuxtla 

 in the State of Vera Cruz, by M. Adolphe Boucard, and embraces 

 nearlj 80 species contained in M. Salle's previous collection, of which 

 I need not repeat the names. But there are also other species in 

 this lašt collection which did not occur in either of the formcr, and 

 I purpose giving soma account of these, so as to make the catah gue 

 of South Mexican birds as perfect as possible. 



1. Sarcorhamphus papą (Linn.). 



Although this bird has been described by Hernandez as Mexican, 

 I ani not aware that its occurrence in any of the States of the 

 Mexican confederacy has been noticed by any modern writer. Some 

 of the United States ornithologists have claimed it as occurring with- 

 in their territories, but, I beheve, on insufficient grounds. 



2. MORPHNCS CRUBiTINGA (Gm.). 



3- MORPHNUS ANTHRACINUS (Nitzsch). 



A young bird of the second year.
