the Imperial Collection at Vienna. 121 



*216. Ardea scapularis, Illig. (315, 316.) 

 Two specimens from Cayenne ; one of which (315) was trans- 

 ferred to the duplicates in 1832. Latham (Gen. Synops. v. 

 68. 30) says that this species was represented in the Museum 

 Leverianum. 



217. Tigrisoma brasiliense (Linne) . 



Specimen from Cayenne, possibly that mentioned by La- 

 tham (Gen. Synops. v. 62, 25) as contained in the Museum 

 Leverianum. Transferred to the duplicates. 



218. Nycticorax violaceus (L.) . (39.) 



Cayenne; not indicated by Latham as being in the Mus. 

 Lever. 



PLATALEID^E. 



219. Platalea ajaja, Linne. (8.) 



Latham (Gen. Synops. v. 16. 2) mentions no specimen from 

 the Mus. Lever. ; his description and plate seem to be based 

 on that of Brisson. 



The bird is no longer in the collection. 



TANTALISE. 



220. Ibis rubra (L.) (53.) 



Latham (Gen. Synops. v. 106. 2) remarks that this species 

 was in the British and in the Leverian Museums. 



SCOLOPACIDyE. 



*221. Numenius phvEOpus, Linne, var. hudsonica. (270.) 



'Hudsonian Curlew, Lath. Gen. Synops. Suppl. 243. 11. 



Numenius hudsonicus, Lath. Ind. Orn. ii. 712. 7; Baird, 

 Rep. 744; Schlegel, Mus. Pays-Bas, Scolop. 100. 



Numenius phaopus, L. ; Pelzeln, Zur Ornith. Brasil. 308. 



Cayenne. 



The differences between N. pheeopus and N. hudsonicus, as 

 exposed by Schlegel /. c, seem to me not sufficient for spe- 

 cific separation, especially in a Wader of so wide a geogra- 

 phical distribution.
