these birds both on private property and on public ground 

 should be made inviolable ; (3) that prohibitive export-duties 

 should be laid on the feathers of Herons and Ibises. The 

 State Legislature of Para appears to have got rid of this un- 

 pleasant appeal by handing it over to the Municipal Council 

 of the Island of Marajo. But, as Dr. Goeldi points out, it 

 would be of little use to stop the slaughter in Marajo if 

 it is permitted elsewhere, and he demands that restrictive 

 measures should be applied to the whole State of Para. 

 We hope that our excellent friend will not relax his efforts 

 in so good a cause. 



1.21. Goeldi and Hagmann' s List of Amazonian Birds. 



[Aves Amazonicas. Lista das aves indicadas como provenientes 

 de Amazonia nos 27 volumes de ' Catalogue of Birds of the British 

 Museum,' de Loudres (1874-1898). Bol. Muss. Paraense, vol. iii. 1902. 

 53 pp.] 



As described in the title, this is a List of the birds men- 

 tioned in the 27 volumes of the ' Catalogue of Birds ' as 

 being found in Amazonia. It contains the names of 1156 

 species, and short indications of the locality and authority 

 for each of them. It will be very useful for reference to 

 all who are working at the great Avifauna of Amazonia, and 

 especially to Dr. Hagmann himself, who is now engaged in 

 cataloguing the specimens in the Museum of Para. 



122. Hagmann on his Visit to Mexiana.

 (Amazonas). Von Dr. Phil. Gottfried Hagmann aus Basel. Schweitz.

The island of Mexiana, in the mouth of the Amazon, is 

 classical ground to the ornithologist, having been visited by 

 Wallace in 1848, and described in his well-known work. 

 Dr. Hagmann has recently made an excursion to it from 

 Para, where he is Assistant in the Goeldi Museum, and 

 gives us a short account of the wonders of its bird-life. 

 Ibises, Storks, Herous, and waterfowl of all kinds swarm 

 in its lagoons, while many interesting land-birds are 

 abundant.
