 Two sj)ecimens. 



Family OEACID^. 



-^-61. Crax globicera Linn.? 



Only a few remiges of a female specimen, upon which a Uruhitinga 

 anthracina had been feeding. These feathers are different from the

 a com]3lete specimen, or perhaps a series of specimens. 



Family AEDEID^. 



62. Garzetta candldissima (Gmel.). 



A hue adult, in full nuptial plumage. 



Family CHAEADEIIDiE. 



63. Oxyechus vociferus (Linn.), 

 One specimen. 



Family SCOLOPACID^. 



64. Afctitis macularius (Linn.). 



One specimen. 



In order to show the complicated relationships of the Cozumel bird 

 fauna, the following list is j)resented, including all the species known 

 to have been found there to date, together with their geographical dis- 

 tribution:
