It would have made the " List" more generally useful if 

 references had been added under each species to the figures 

 published in the great works of Wilson and Evans and 

 of Rothschild. 'The Ibis' does not appear to have reached 

 Honolulu, at any rate the name of one of the Editors is 

 persistently misspelled ! 



88. Iher'wy on the Birds of Sao Paulo, Brazil. 



[Contribuicoes para o Conhecimento da Ornithologia de Sao Paulo por 

 H. von Ihering. Revista do Mus. Paulista, v. pp. 261-329, pi. xi. (1902).] 



This is a supplement to Dr. v. Ihering's previous articles 

 on the same subject (cf. Ibis, 1891, p. 134). He now gives 

 a list, with short remarks added, of 46 additional species 

 of birds which have been recently ascertained to occur 

 within the confines of the State of Sao Paulo. Amongst 

 these are 4 considered to be probably of new " subspecies " 

 — Icterus cayanensis vatencio-buenoi (!), Tyranniscus boli- 

 vianus paulistus, Picumnus sagittatus sharpei, and P. nebu- 

 losus caipira. Adding these to the 590 ennmerated in the 

 previous papers, we find the strength of the Pauline ornis to be 

 now about 636 species. The author calculates that it will 

 ultimately run up to 800 species, which is highly probable. 



In the second section of his memoir Dr. v. Ihering de- 

 scribes the eggs of 40 species of Pauline birds additional to 

 those in his former papers, and illustrates six of them on 

 a nicely coloured plate. The gem of these is the egg of 

 Ampelion cucvllatns. 



In the third section he discusses the occurrence of an 

 Argentino-Chilian element in the Pauline avifauna, where, 

 however, it appears to us to be very feebly represented. 



The fourth section gives a complete nominal List of the 

 Pauline Ornis.
