List of birds collected by M. Hardy at Porto 



Heal, Brazil, with description of one supposed 



new species, by M. M. Boucard and 



Count Berlepsch. 



A small collection of birds having been "received from 

 Porto Real, " Brazil," we thought that the publication of a 

 list of the species collected by Mr. Hardy in that country 

 would be of interest to Ornithologists. Porto Real is 

 situated at about 80 miles from Rio Janeiro, in the interior. 

 It is surrounded by hills and is well watered. The ornitho- 

 logical fauna resembles very much that of Rio Janeiro 

 and Bahia. It seems to be the exact habitat of the rare 

 Gallinago gigantea. Only one new species was sent, 

 Formicivora stictocorypha, but it is very likely that if 

 Mr. Hardy continues his explorations in that country he 

 will be rewarded by the discovery of some new and interest- 

 ing species.
