Diglossa sittoides (Lafr. & D'Orb.), differing in certain respects from a 

 Bogota example. 



Dacnis egregia cequatorialis Berl., confirming the differences on which 

 the separation of the Ecuadorian from the Colombian bird was based. 



Chlorophanes spiza ccerulescens (Cass.), of which C. s. exsul Berl. is 

 said to be a synonym. 



Chlorophanes spiza guatemalensis (Cass.), the skins so identified being 

 "evidently of a different make from the others, and are no doubt from a 

 different locality." 



Ccereba cairulea (Linn.), said to "agree perfectly with Bogota exam- 

 ples." 



Procnias viridis 111., usually called P. tersa (Linn.), apparently good 

 reasons being given for changing the specific name, while Mr. Allen states 

 his inability, "with a large series of specimens" before him, to distin- 

 guish a "smaller subspecies occidentalis." 



Habia ludoviciana (Linn.), from the "foot of Pichincha, alt. 10,000 

 ft.," the date unfortunately not given. 



Pipra auricapilla Licht., which differs in several particulars from the 

 typical bird of eastern Brazil, Cayenne, and Trinidad. 



Tityra persona ta Jard. and Selby, reference being made to 'The Auk,' 

 Vol. V, iSSS, p. 287. 



Tityra nigriceps Allen, first described in 'The Auk,' Vol. V, 1S8S, p. 

 2S7. " 



Pithys peruvianas (Tacz.), which is easily separable from P. albifrons 

 of Cayenne and Brazil. 



Galbula albirostris chalcocephala (Deville), "which name may be em- 

 ployed to designate this fairly marked Andean and West Brazilian race" 

 of G. albirostris. 



In addition to these notes on particular species, two genera are specially 

 considered: Chiromachceris Cabanis (et. aurt.), which must be changed 

 to Manacus Brisson; and Tityra, of which an excellent and very conven- 

 ient key to the species and subspecies is given on page 73. — R.R. 



Allen on Birds collected in Bolivia. — With possibly the exception of 

 Messrs. Sclater and Salvin's report on Mr. C. Buckley's collection of Bo- 

 livian birds,* Mr. Allen's "List of the Birds collected in Bolivia by Dr. 

 H. H. Rusby,"f is by far the most important publication which has ap- 

 peared on the birds of that country. 



* On new Species of Bolivian Birds. By P. L. Sclater, M. A. , Ph. D., F. R. S., and 

 Osbert Salvin, M. A., F. R. S. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1876, pp. 352-358, pis. xxx- 

 xxxiffc (Based on a collection of "between 400 and 500 skins of about 194 species,'' 

 15 of which, and 1 new genus, are described as new.)
