Anas maxima of Gosse is, no doubt, the bird referred to in Prof. 

 Baird's Report on N. American Ornithology (p. 774) as the large 

 variety of the Mallard. Fxdigv.la affinis has already been noticed 

 as far south as Guatemala (Salvin, in ' Ibis,' 1859, p'. 231), though 

 not hitherto brought from Mexico. 



4. List of Birds collected by M. A. Boucard in the State 

 OF Oaxaca in South-western Mexico, with Descrip- 

 tions OF New Species. By Philip Lutley Sclater, M.A., 

 Secretary to the Society. 



M. Salle having kindly submitted to my examination several col- 

 lections of birds formed by his correspondent M. Adolphe Boucard 

 in various parts of the State of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico during 

 the past eighteen months, I am induced to bring before the Society 

 a list of the species included in them, together with the localities in 

 which they were obtained, at the same time giving characters of no 

 less than twelve amongst them, which, as far as I have been able to 

 ascertain, are hitherto undescribed. Science is greatly indebted to 



No. 407. — Proceedings of the Zoological Society.
