37 skins, representing 18 species^ made by Herr E. Peters of 

 Hamburg during a short visit to Curayao in August and 

 September 1890. But our esteemed friend takes the oppor- 

 tunity of building upon this foundation an exhaustive account 

 of all that is yet known of the ornithology of the Curacao 

 group of islands. He shows that their avifauna is most 

 nearly related to that of the neighbouring coast of South 

 America, the greater number of the 19 sjDCcies certainly 

 known to occur there being of undoubtedly South-American 

 origin. On the other hand, there is also a slight Antillean 

 element in the avifauna, four species — namely, Dendrmca 

 rufigularis, Ccereba (intell. Certhiola) uropygialis, sp. nov., 

 Elainea martinica, and Tinnunculus sparverius breinpennis, 

 subsp. nov. — having decided West-Indian affinities. Herr 

 Peters^s journal of his excursion and interesting field-notes 

 make a good appendix to Graf v. Berlepsch's treatise.
