suhcristata, Culicivora stenvra, CyanotisazarcejAnurnhinsacuticnudus, 

 Furnarius rufus, PMceocryptes mdcmcps, ThamnopMhis macuJatus, 

 T. ruficapillvs, Ardea sibilatrix, Ardetta involucris, Plegadis 

 gvarauna, Dafila spinicauda, and Fidka armiUata. There are 

 also some marine or coast-birds which occur as temporary residents 

 on the Sao Paulo coast, such as Cygnus vulanocoryphiis and 

 Spheniscus magellanicus. 



0£ species occurring between Eio Grande do Sul and Sao Paulo, 

 I may mention : Calliste pretiosa, Cycmocorax ccfndeus, Cyhernetes 

 yetaba, ThripopTiaga sclaieri, HelioUetm contaminatus Pelz. 

 ( = sujjercilwsus Licht.), PicoJaptes fahinellus, Trogon surucura, 

 Chrysoiis hrasiliensis, and Chrysotis pretrii. 



Some of the species that occur in Sao Paulo and Eio are known 

 from Sta. Catharina, but 1 have no data to prove that they also 

 occur in Rio Grande do Sul. Such are Dacnis cayana and D. nigripes, 

 Tcmagra ornata and T. pahnarum, CissojJis major, Cassicus 

 hcemorrJious, Cassidix oryzivora, OxyrhampJms Jlammiceps, Ilicura 

 militaris, Tijuca nigra, Malaeoptila torquata, and Andigena 

 hailloni. 



Many of the Sta. Catharina species not as yet obtained in 

 Eio Grande do Sul may probably be foiuad there still ; but it 

 seems quite possible that others {Tanagra palmarum, Ceryle inda, 

 Dacnis, etc.) do not pass southwards of Sta. Catharina. I have 

 never seen any Dacnis in the State of Eio Grande do Sul. The 

 locality in the' British Museum Catalogue, " Pelotas, Eio Grande 

 do Sul (Joyner)," is wrong. 



I now give a list of the species that occur between Eio Grande 

 do Sul and Eio de Janeiro ; and which, I believe, do not extend 

 their distribution north of Eio. These are : — 



Euphonia pectoralis. 

 Hypophcea chalybcea. 

 Chlorophonia viridis. 

 Tachyphonus coronatus. 

 Arremon semitorquatus. 

 Aphohus chopi. 

 Cnipolegus nigerrimus. 

 Orchilus auricularis. 

 Alectrurus tricolor. 

 Mionectes rufiventris. 

 Phyllomyias brevirostris. 

 Phyllomyias burmeisteri. 

 Sirystes sibilator. 

 Phibalura Jlavirostris. 

 Ampelion cucullatus. 

 Anabazenops rufo-superciliatus. 



Sittosomus eriihacus. 

 Dendroeolaptes picumnus. 

 Batara cinerea. 

 Thamniph.il us leacM. 

 Thamnophilus severus. 

 Leucochloris albicollis. 

 Phaethornis eurynome. 

 Glytolcema rubinea, 

 Rhamphastos dicohrus. 

 Pyrrhura vittata. 

 Triclaria cyanogastra, 

 Leucopternis palliata. 

 Leucop>ternis lacernulata. 

 Penelope obscura. 

 Oryptwus obsoletus. 



It thus seems that the fauna of Southern Brazil, from Eio de 

 Janeiro to Eio Grande do Sul, has a great number of characteristic 

 species and even geuera. The latter are : — (a) Culicivora,
