No. 6. — Birds and Mammals from Honduras. 
By Outram Bancs. 
In the early winter of 1902, Mr. W. W. Brown, Jr., started on a 
short trip to the coast of Honduras. He collected for a few weeks in 
January, at Ceiba (on some maps Laceiba), situated on the hot coastal 
plain at about sea level. In February he prepared, with the aid of an 
assistant, for the exploration of the little known mountain range that 
extends, parallel with the coast, some twenty miles inland from Ceiba. 
After a few days’ work at Yaruca (1,000 ft.), Mr. Brown had the mis- 
fortune to lose his assistant, and though among unfriendly Indians, con- 
tinued to collect there for a few weeks. He was obliged, however, to 
abandon his mountain trip. 
The birds and mammals secured belong, for the most part, to well- 
known species ; there are, however, a few rare and interesting forms in 
the series, and the distribution of some of the birds is considerably 
extended. A complete list of the species collected follows.
