I base this species upon three examples obtained by Mr. 

 C. Buckley at Sarayacu, in Ecuador. But Bogota skins and 

 specimens which I have examined from several localities on 

 the Upper Amazons seem to be identical. 



N. brunnea will be figured in the forthcoming part of my 

 ' Monograph of the Jacamars and Puff-birds/ which I am 

 hoping shortly to bring to a conclusion.

Besides the usual communications of more or less local 

 interest, the last Bulletin contains the results of Mr. Cory^s 

 expedition to Hayti, in two articles'^. The new species of 

 birds discovered are described as Picumnus lawrencii, Phceni- 

 cophilus dominicensis, Parra violacea, and Myiadestes mon- 

 tanus. Of these the Picumnus is of special interest, as the 

 form is quite new to the Antillean avifauna. The total 

 number of birds given in the second article as obtained or 

 observed is 65, which includes "nearly all the species pre- 

 viously recorded from Hayti and Santo Domingo, besides a 

 number new to the Island.^^ An outline map, showing the
