consider that no zoological collector has, so far as we are aware, 
previously visited Merida, although certain well-known botanists 
(Messrs. Linden, Funk, and Schlim), in search of Orchids, devoted 
a certain amount of attention to the 77ochilid@ of that district, and 
discovered several brilliant new species of this group, which have 
MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN [Nov. 15, 
been described by Bourcier, Parzudaki, and other authors. 
We now give a complete list of the species obtained by Mr. 
Goering, to which are added descriptions of the new species, and 
remarks upon such of the known ones as call for observation. 
The nomenclature adopted is, as in former papers, that of Sclater’s 
Catalogue of American Birds.
