566 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. [Dec. 13, 



has stated in one of his works that the flesh of the Giraffe is not 

 good to eat, or that it has not an agreeable flavour. 



P.S. Since this paper was read, I have had an opportunity of exa- 

 mining the Hippopotamus that was recently burnt at the Crystal 

 Palace ; and in this animal I find a still more remarkable intestinal 

 gland, of the same character as that of the Giraffe. 



6. On some Additions to the Catalogue of Birds collected by 

 Mr. E. Bartlett on the River Ucayali. By P. L. Sclater, 

 M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., and Osbert Salvin, M.A., F.L.S., 

 &c. 



Since our previous communication to the Society on Mr. Bartlett's 

 ornithological collections in Eastern Peru*, a second, small collection 

 has been received, amongst which are examples of twenty species 

 which did not occur in the former one, and of which the names with 

 some remarks are now given. We have no exact information as to 

 the locality of the present series ; but they are probably from the 

 Lower Ucayali or the vicinity of Nauta. Mr. Bartlett has now 

 moved further up, to Yurimaguas on the Huallaga, and its vicinity.

Fam. Fringillid.e. 



2. Guiraca cyanoides (Lafr.); Sclater, C. A. B. p. 101. 



Fam. Dendrocolaptid^e. 



3. Ancistrops lineaticeps, Sclater, C. A. B. p. 157. 



One example, agreeing with Sclater's type specimen from the same 

 country. 



4. Automolus erythropterus, Sclater, C. A. B. p. 158. 



A single example, agreeing well with Sclater's type, which is a 

 Bogota skin. 



5. Xenops hetertjrtjs, Cab. & Hein.; Sclater, C. A. B. p. 159. 



A single example of very diminutive size, but otherwise best agree- 

 ing with X. heterurus ex Bogota. Whether this form be really 

 distinct from the Brazilian X. rutilus is perhaps rather doubtful.
