light buff; chest clouded chestnut, passing into dark grey on the ab- 

 men, and fading into buffy white on the vent ; under tail-coverts 

 greyish white ; upper mandible and tip of the lower black ; basal 

 three-fourths of the latter yellow.

Remark. — This is also one of the smaller species of the former, 

 which, like P. viridicaudata, would pertain to Prince C. L. Bona- 

 parte's genus Pygmornis. It differs from all others yet known in its 

 darkly coloured throat and under surface. 



2. Further Additions to the List of Birds received in 

 Collections from Bogota. By Philip Lutley Sclater, 

 M.A., F.L.S. 



Since the last communication which I made to this Society on 

 Birds received in collections from Bogota, I have obtained specimens 

 and information from several quarters, which have enabled me to 

 draw up the following supplementary list of fifty-two species not 

 mentioned in my previous papers on this subject. This increase 

 raises the total number of birds now known as belonging to the orni- 

 thology of the interior of New Grenada to upwards of 510. That 

 future researches will develope still farther additions, and among them 

 many new species, I have no doubt. For there are still considerable 

 vacancies in the series to be filled up, particularly in the Accipitres, 

 Grallce, Gallince, and Anseres, and among the more obscure groups 

 of Passeres (such as the Tyrannines), which I have as yet hardly 

 ventured to touch, that is, in the way of naming new species, on 

 account of the confusion which at present prevails among those 

 already described. 



When last in Paris, I had the pleasure of examining the large series 

 of Trochilidce belonging to M. Parzudaki. From the information I 

 thus obtained, and from the kind assistance rendered to me by Mr. 

 Gould, I have been enabled to enumerate twenty species of that 

 family, omitted in my former lists, which occur in the interior of 

 New Grenada. These added to the forty-nine previously given, make 

 up a total of about seventy birds of this group which may be con- 

 sidered inhabitants of this region. 



M. Jules Verreaux of Paris has supplied me with numerous notes 

 made on the birds which have come under his notice from Bogota 

 collections since the publication of my first list. 



Mr. George N. Lawrence, the well-known Ornithologist of New 

 York, showed me a considerable collection of Bogota skins, when I 

 was in that city during the past autumn. Out of these birds received 

 direct from Bogota he most liberally allowed me to bring to this 

 country, for the purpose of closer examination, such as I was not able 

 to identify on the spot, and I have found among them several species 

 of which I have not elsewhere seen specimens from that region.
