61. Salvadori on Birds from Argentina and Paraguay. 



[Viaggio del dott. Alfredo Borelli nella Repubblica Argentina e nel 

 Paraguay. Uccelli raccolti nel Paraguay, nel Matto Grosso, nel Tucuman 

 e nella Provincia di Sal to. Par Tommaso Salvadori. Boll. Mus. Zool. 

 e Anat. comp. 11. Univ. Torino, x. No. 208, 1895.] 



Dr. A. Borellij during a journey in Southern Brazil, Para- 

 guay, and the northern provinces of Argentina, made a con- 

 siderable collection of birds, which Count Salvadori refers to 

 190 species. Of 145 species of which specimens were obtained 

 in Paraguay, 20 are not mentioned in Graf. v. Berlepsch^s 

 list of the birds of that country, and two are new — Hypo- 

 triorchis ophryophanes and Pyrrhura borellii. Two species 

 from Tucuman are also characterized as new — Spermophila 

 plumbeiceps and Columba tucumana. 



62. Salvadori on the Bearded Vulture. 



[Notizie intorno al Gypaetus barbatus. Par Tommaso Salvadori. Boll. 

 Mus. Zool. e Anat. comp. R. Univ. Torino, x. No. 207, 1895.] 



Particulars are given of some recent captures and obser- 

 vations of this magnificent bird in the IViaritime Alps, espe- 

 cially near the Col de Tenda, a district in which its presence 

 has not often been recorded. As Count Salvadori too truly 

 observes, the Bearded Vulture is becoming rarer and rarer 

 in the Alps. To accelerate its extermination a majority (!) 

 at the International Congress held in Paris last June 

 placed Gypaetus on the black list, among the birds "uuisibles 

 k I'agriculture," and even put "les Vautours ^^ under the 

 same ban ; not because the true Vultures did any harm, but 

 lest, perad venture, a " Lammergeier ^' should escape. The 

 next generation of Swiss ornithologists will probably be able 

 to point proudly to the specimens in their museums and say, 

 " Quite extinct now.^'
