^879.] BIRDS FROM ANTIOQUIA. 487 



Altogether, in the eight collections transmitted by Mr. Salmon 

 about 3500 specimens of birds have passed through our hands. 

 Some of the new species contained in them have been already laid 

 before the Society \ But in justice to Mr. Salmon's memory and 

 in the interests of science, we have thought it right that some further 

 record of so fine and extensive a series (embracing specimens of 

 468 species) from such a little-known locality should be made. 

 We have therefore compiled the subjoined list of the birds repre- 

 sented, in Mr. Salmon's collections, with an indication of the exact 

 localities in which each species was obtained, and an account of the 

 nest and eggs where sent. 



Except in the case of some of the very commonest, examples 

 of Mr. Salmon's species have been kept either for the collection of 

 Sclater (Mus. P.L. S.), or for that of Salvin and Godman (Mus. 

 S.-G.), as indicated in the subjoined list. The nests and eggs have 

 been deposited in the British Museum. 



We have incorporated into our list Mr. Salmon's valuable M.S. 

 notes on the nests and eggs, and have appended his initials (T.K.S.) 

 to them. 



The following is a list of the species new to science discovered by 

 Mr. Salmon :— J

II. Account of Mr. Salmon's Localities. 



The exact localities where Mr. Salmon obtained his birds are mostly 

 marked in the map which we now exhibit (see p. 488), copied from 

 de Greiff's map of the province of Antioquia a . As will be seeu, 

 they lie mostly on affluents of the Magdalena and Cauca, though 

 one is on the sources of the Sucio, which flows into the Atrato. 

 The following gives such indications of them as we have been 

 enabled to collect, partly from verbal communications with Mr. 

 Salmon, partly from the map and other documents.
