 neiier Arten. Von Hans v. Berlepsch und Paiil Leverkiihn, ' Ornis, 

 vi. p. 1.] 



Graf V. Berlepsch and Herr Leverkiihn give us an account 

 of the results of their examination of the specimens of birds 

 in the Museum of Kiel which were collected by the late 

 Prof. Behn during his voyage round the world in the Danish 

 corvette ' Galatea Mn the years 1845-47. During the stay 

 of the ' Galatea ' in South America, Prof. Behn crossed the 

 interior of that continent, and obtained many interesting 

 land-birds {cf. Leverkiihn in J. f. O. 1889, p. 101). The 

 authors give us excellent notes on 35 species, amongst which 

 are described as new species Synallaxis cabanisi, S. hetero- 

 cerca, Dendrornis lineatocapilla, and Myrmotherula behni, 

 and, as new subspecies. Troglodytes furvus rex, Mylar chus 

 tyrannulus chlorepiscius, Grallaria imperator intercedens, 

 and Chlorcenas plumbea bogotensis. Three species are pro- 

 vided with provisional names — Elainia lophotes, Myiarchus 

 bahice, and Heterocercus angostura. The following species 

 are figured : — Dendrornis lineatocapilla, Myrmotherula behni, 

 Chasiempis sandwichensis jr., Homorus galathea, and Grallaria 

 haplonota.
