ORNIS OF SAO PAULO.

suhcristata, Culicivorn sienvra, Cyavotis azarce, Anumhivs acuticaudus, 

 Fwnarius ritfus, PJiIoeoayj^tes vnlancps, Thamnoj)7iiIvs maciduhts, 

 T. rvficapillvs, Ardea sihilatrix, Ardetta involucris, Plegadis 

 guarauna, Dajila spinicauda., and Fidica armiUata. There are 

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

 on the Sao Paulo coast, such as Cygnus melanocoryphus and 

 Spheniscus magellanicus. 



Of species occurring between Eio Grande do Sul and Sao Paulo, 

 I may mention : Calliste pretiosa, Cyanocora.v co'rideus, Cybernetes 

 yetaha, Thripophaga sdateri, Heliohlettis contaminafiis Pelz. 

 ( = superciliosus Licht.), Picolaptes fcdcinellus, Trogon surucura, 

 Chrysoiis hrasiliensis, and Clwysotis 2^i'<^trii. 



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

 from Sta. Catharina, but I have no dat'a to prove that they also 

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

 Tanagra ornata and T. palmarum, Cissopis major, Cassicus 

 hcemorrhous, Cassidix oryzivora^ OxyrhampJms Jlammiceps, Ilicura 

 militaris, Tijuca nigra, Malacoptila torquata, and Andigena 

 bailloni. 



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

 Eio Grande do Sul may probably be found 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 iu 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 wliich, I believe, do not extend 

 their d'istribution north of Eio. These are : — 



Euplionia pectoralis. 

 Hypopluea ch a lybcea. 

 Chlorophonia viridis. 

 Tachyplionus coronatus. 

 Arremon semitorquatus. 

 Aphobus chopi. 

 Cnipolegus nigerrimus, 

 Orchilus auricidaris. 

 Alectrurus tricolor. 

 Mionectes rufiventris. 

 Phyllomyias brevirostris. 

 Phyllomyias burmeisteri. 

 Sirystes sibilator. 

 Phibalura Jlavirostris. 

 Ampelion cucullatv^. 

 Anabazenops rufo-superciliatus. 



Sittosomus erithacus. 

 Dendrocolaptes piiMmnus. 

 Batara cinerea. 

 Thamnipliilus leacJii. 

 ThamnopJiilus severus. 

 Leucochloris albicollis, 

 Phaethornis eurynome. 

 Olytolcemii rubinea. 

 RJucmphastos dicoljriis. 

 Pyrrhura vittata. 

 Triclaria cyanogastra. 

 LeuGopternis palliata. 

 Leucopternis lacernulata, 

 Penelope obscura. 

 Cryptwus 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 eveu genera. The latter are : — (a) Culicivora,
