collection from the same country, which he has kindly submitted to 

 my inspection. This was made in the district of S. Andres Tuxtla 

 in the State of Vera Cruz, by M. Adolphe Boucard, and embraces 

 nearly 80 species contained in M. Salle's previous collection, of which 

 I need not repeat the names. But there are also other species in 

 this last collection which did not occur in either of the former, and 

 I purpose giving some account of these, so as to make the catalogue 

 of South Mexican birds as perfect as possible. 



1. Sarcorhamphus papa (Linn.). 



Although this bird has been described by Hernandez as Mexican, 

 I am not aware that its occurrence in any of the States of the 

 Mexican confederacy has been noticed by any modern writer. Some 

 of the United States ornithologists have claimed it as occurring with- 

 in their territories, but, I believe, on insufficient grounds. 



2. MORPHNUS URUBITINGA (Gm.). 



3. MORPHNUS ANTHRACINUS (Nitzsch). 



A young bird of the second year. 



4. MORPHNUS SCHISTACEUS (Suild.), JUV. 



Santecomapam. 



5. Asturina nitida (Lath.). 

 A young bird. Santecomapam. 



6. Buteo ghiesbreghti, DuBus, Esq. Orn. pi. I. 



A fine adult bird of this spendid species. 

 S. Andres Tuxtla. 



7. Ciccaba torotata (Daud.) : Bp. Consp. p. 43. 

 Santecomapam ; the forests — scarce. 



8. Trogon melanocephalus, Gould, Mon. Trogon. pi. 12. 



Beautiful specimens of males and females of this rare species pro- 

 cured at Cateman in November and December 1856. 



9. Ceryle superciliosa (Linn.). 

 Agrees with S. A. specimens. 



10. Phaethornis longirostris, Delattre, Echo d. M. S. 1843, 

 no. 45.— T. cephalus, Bourc. et Muls. R. Z. 1848, p. 269. 



This fine species was originally discovered in Nicaragua by De- 

 lattre, and specimens were obtained in the same country by M. Salle 

 during his former voyage. 



11. Vireo flavifrons, Vieill. Ois. Am. Sept. pi. 54.
