P. L. SCLATER ON THE GENUS SYNALLAXIS. [Jail. 6, 



(1827?) Temminck (PI. Col. 38th and 52nd livr.) writes upon 

 Synallaxis (which he places near Malurus), and describes and 

 figures five new species, S. rutilans, S. albescens, S. cinerascens, S. 

 tecellata, and S. setaria, all from Brazil. The last two are attri- 

 buted to Auguste Saint-Hilaire's researches, the first three are 

 probably based on Natterer's specimens. 



(1830.) Kittlitz, in his article on certain birds from Chili (Mem. 

 pr. Ac. Sc. St. Petersburg), describes and figures two Chilian 

 species, S. humicola and S. ceyithaloides. 



(1830.) P. Z. S. p. 30, Captain King describes S. anthoides from 

 Patagonia. 



(1831.) P. Max. (Beitr. z. Nat. v. Brasil. hi. p. 683 et seq.) 

 describes the Synallaxes met with by him in S.E. Brazil. These 

 1 . S. cinereus ( = S, ruficapilla, Vieill.) ; 2. S.pallidus, sp. opt. ; 



are 



3. 5 1 . caudacutus ( = $. cinnamomea) ; and 4. S. torquatus, sp. opt. 



(1837.) In their " Synopsis Avium," published in the ' Magasin 

 de Zoologie' for this year, MM. Lafresnaye and d'Orbigny publish 

 an account of the Synallaxes obtained by the latter during his cele- 

 brated journey in South America. Fourteen species are enumerated, 

 whereof nine are described as new. These species are again described 

 at fuller length in the fourth volume of D'Orbigny's 'Voyage dans 

 l'Amerique Meridionale,' issued 1835-44. 



The following table shows the results of my identification of 

 D'Orbigny's Synallaxes as arranged in the last-mentioned work : — 



(1838.) Rev. Zool. p. 1G5. Lafresnaye and D'Orbigny describe 

 S. candcei from Cartagena. 



(1839.) Rev. Zool. p. 105. Lesson describes S. sordida from 

 Chili. 



(1840.) In the third volume of the 'Zoology of the Voyage of 



the Beagle ' eight species of Synallaxis are included as having been 



met with in South America. Four are described as new — iS. major 



(=Anumbius acuticaudatus), S. rufogidaris (=<S. anthoides), S. 



jlavoyularis (=S. sordida), and S. brunnea (=#. sordida, jr.).
