18H2.J ON MAMMALS AND BIKOS FROM EASTERN PERU. 373 



4, Ou some Mammals and Birds collected by Mr. J. Haux- 

 well in Eastern Peru. By Edward Bartlett, Curator 

 of the Maidstone Museum. 



[EeceiTed March 29, 1882.] 



Some time ago I received a collection of mammals and birds from 

 Mr. J. Hauxwell, collected by him in the neighbourhood of Nauta, 

 Elvira, and Loretoyacu, ou the banks of the Peruvian Amazons. I 

 regret to say that, my time having been otherwise occupied, I have 

 been prevented from bringing an account of this collection before the 

 Society sooner. Hovyever, 1 think that my notes will be acceptable 

 to those interested in distribution (to which I have already contri- 

 buted largely), as increasing our knowledge of the avifauna of that 

 vast region. 



The collection contained 136 species, 121 of which had been 

 previously obtained during my four years' residence in Peru. But 

 there are 15 species among them not mentioned in my list (which 

 appeared in the 'Proceedings' of the Society for 1873, p. 252) ; and 

 two of the 15 appear to be new to science, although closely allied to 

 forms already known from the same localities. One belongs to the 

 genus Thamnophilus, and the other to the genus Crypturus. 



It is not my intention to give the names of the 121 species, 

 because they are enumerated in the catalogue above alluded to, but 

 only to refer to those which do not appear in that list. 



By the list above referred to I find that the number of species 

 collected by Mr. Bates, Hauxwell, and myself, was 473. I now add 

 15 species, raising the total to 488. 



I here take the opportunity of thanking Mr. Osbert Salvin for 

 his kindness in determining some of the more obscure species, and 

 for pronouncing the two birds new or undetermined. 



Mammals. 



The three mammals new to the list were as follows : — Ateles 

 variegata, Wagner { = Ateles bartletti. Gray); Phyllostoma has- 

 latum (Pall.) ; and Galera barbara, Betz., — all from Elvira.
