The following notes refer to some of the species mentioned 

 in this list : — 



Calliste flava (Gm.). — Common at Bahia and Itaparica. 

 Both specimens obtained were males. 



Fluvicola climacura (Vieill.). — This bird is common at 

 Bahia, especially in the town, where it may be seen walking 

 about in the streets. It is very tame. 



Todirostrum cinereum (Linn.). — This little bird is fairly 

 common near Bahia, where I found a pair building a very 

 large nest at the top of a tall tree. I only once saw a bird 

 of this species at Itaparica. 



Chrysolampis moschitus (Linn.). — One of the commonest 

 Humming-birds on Itaparica. The British Consul told me 

 that he once purchased a pure white individual of this species 

 from an old native bird-stuffer in Bahia. 



Agyrtria leucogastra (Gm.). — I saw a few examples of this 

 species on Itaparica; their flight is very rapid.
