 the Fauna and Flora of Mexico and Central America. Edited by F. 

 DuCane Godman and Osbert Salvin. (Zoology.) Parts v.-vii. 4to.

Messrs. Salvin and Godman finish their account of the 

 Central-American Wrens in Part vi., and proceed with the 

 Motacilildae and Mniotiltidae, the latter of which are very 

 fully represented in this subregion. One plate is given, con- 

 taining figures of Parula inornata, P. superciliosa, and P. 

 gutturalis. 



10. Gould's ' Birds of Asia' 



[The Birds of Asia. By J. Gould, F.R.S. &c. Dedicated to the 

 Honourable East-India Company. Part xxxii. Folio. London : 1880. 

 Published by the author, 26 Charlotte Street, Bedford Square, W.C.] 



Mr. Gould's thirty-second part contains excellent figures 

 of the following twelve species : — 



Erythropus amurensis. Carcineutes melanops. 



Irena cyanea. amabilis. 



criniger. Pyrrhula major. 



Pitta kochi. erithacus. 



Upupa nigripennis. Euspiza elegans. 



Carcineutes pulchellus. Erythrospiza githaginea. 



Malaccan and Sumatran forms are usually conspecific; and 

 we confess to a little incredulity as to the distinctness of 

 Irena crinigera and /. cyanea. Nor is Carcineutes amabilis, in 

 our opinion, a very good species.
