836 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN [ Dec. 6, 
this district, to which we have added a few notes where such 
explanations are called for. 
The previous authorities on the birds of the Republic of Honduras 
are two only. :— 
1. Mr. Moore’s list of Leyland’s collections in Honduras, Belize, 
and Guatemala, given in P. Z. 8. 1859, p. 50. 
2. Mr. G. C. Taylor’s articles on the birds collected and observed 
during his journey across the isthmus from Fonseca Bay to Omoa in 
1857-8, published in ‘The Ibis’ for 1860. 
Mr. Whitely’s series of about 520 skins was obtained in the 
vicinity of Puerto Cabello, Julian, Medina, and San Pedro. The 
three latter places are situated in the low forest-lands on the Chame- 
licon river, San Pedro, the furthest inland being not more than 30 
miles from Puerto Cabello, the Atlantic terminus of the proposed 
railway. These specimens are referable to 135 species, of which 
the list is subjoined, the nomenclature, as usual, being that of 
Sclater’s ‘ Catalogue of American Birds.’
