There is a shell which has been described as Volutolites abyssicola 
by Messrs. Adams and. Reeves, Voy. Samarang; Adams, Gen. 
Moll. t. 18. f. 8; found near the Cape of Good Hope; but it is 
very doubtful if it is not more nearly related to Cassis than Voluta ; 
for the pillar lip is only marked with numerous faint rudimentary 
or obsolete plaits, and the shell is costately variced and deeply 
striated. 
In the above list great attention has been paid to the country 
inhabited by the species, and no special habitat has been given unless 
specimens have been received directly from the locality recorded. 
2. Nore ON THE SIXTEEN Species or Texan Birps* NAMED 
BY Mr. Grraup or New York, 1n 1841. By Paitir LutLey 
Scuater, M.A. 
1. Icrerus AupuBontt, Giraud (no plate), is Psarocolius mela- 
nocephalus, Wagl. Isis, 1829, p. 750. A good figure and interesting 
account of this fine species is given by Mr. Cassin in his new work 
on the birds of California, Texas, Oregon, &c. pt. 5. p. 137. pl. xxi. 
2. Muscicapa TexeENsis, Giraud, pl. 1. This seems very like 
Elenia cayennensis (Linn.), (which is included by Mr. Swainson 
in his Synopsis of the Birds of Mexico, ) though rather larger in size. 
3. Muscricara Lawrencett, Giraud, pl. 2. fig. 1. 
4. Muscicapra FULVIFRONS, Giraud, pl. 2. fig. 2. 
5. Sytvia Hausen, Giraud, pl. 3. fig. 1. This and the two pre- 
ceding species I do not recognise. 
6. Muscicapa Deruamit, Giraud, pl. 3. fig. 2, is Muscicapa vul- 
nerata, Wagl. Isis, 1831, p. 520; Setophaga vulnerata, Bp. Consp. 
p. 313. 
7. Muscicara Bexx1, Giraud, pl. 4. fig. 1. This bird I believe 
to be Sylvia chrysophrys, Licht. in Mus. Berol. ; Myiodioctes chrys- 
ophrys, Licht. Nomencel. p. 32 ; Basileuterus chrysophrys, Bp. Consp. 
p- 314. But Mr. Giraud’s name has many years’ precedence, and it 
will therefore stand as Basileuterus Belli (Giraud). 
8. Parus Levcotis, Giraud, pl. 4. fig. 2, is without doubt Sefo- 
phaga rubra, Sw. Phil. Mag. 1827, p. 368, and has other prior 
synonyms. 
9. FRINGILLA TEXENSIS, Giraud, pl. 5. fig. 1, is Chrysomitris 
mexicana (Sw.); Carduelis mexicana, Sw. Phil. Mag. 1827, p. 435.
