REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLH : 
Hartlaiib lias remarked, ibid, p, 56, that Euphonia coelestis, 
Less., and Pipra eleg antis swia, Bonap., belong to one species ; 
again, p. 203, that Minla ignostincta, Hodg., is = LeiotTiriw 
ornata^ Horsf., and Civa cyanouroptera = L. lepida, Horsf. 
Tanagrid^. — Lesson lias given two species of Tanagra 
as new, in the Rev. Zool. p. 175. 
Aglaia diaconus and Euphonia affinis, both from Realejo. His 
Pitylus lazulus is also from Central America. Lafresnaye has added 
two new species to Cyclorhis (Laniagra), hitherto founded merely upon 
the Tanagra guianensis, viz., the 0. jiaviventris, from Santa- Cruce in 
Mexico; and G. nigrirostris, from Columbia. Azara’s Habia vert lie 
looks upon as identical with Tanagra guianensis (Rev. Zool. p. 134). 
An Arremon atropileus, and a Tachyphonus Victorini, both from 
Bolivia, are also described by him (op. cit. p. 335). A description of 
the Pyranga leucoptera of Trudeau, from Mexico, is to be found in the 
Journ. of Philad. viii. p. 160. 
Fringillid^. — Landbek asserts, in the Isis, p. 90, that 
Fringilla cisalpina and liispaniolensis are only varieties of 
onr House Sparrow. 
F. cisalpina was distinguished from it by not being present on this 
side of the Alps ; he fomid it plentiful in Under Engadin, Canton Orisons. 
Among the Sparrows which he shot on the roof of the inn, were some 
Italian ones, some birds of passage, and some common Sparrows. In the 
newly fledged young ones, and in the adult female, he could discover no 
difference from the common ones. In voice, habits, nest, and eggs, no 
difference was observable between the two sorts. As it is now observed, 
that amongst F. hispaniolensis, the young males, especially, completely 
resemble our own ; so Landbek regards those southern Sparrows not as 
peculiar species, but only varieties of one and the same. 
Sundevall distinguishes two varieties of Fringilla linaria, in the 
K. Vet. Acad. Handl. for 1840, Stockh. 1842, p. 56. — Var. a. {Linaria 
alnorum et Holboelli, Brehm) ; rostro majusculo, basi tantum plumis 
tecto, altitudine 7, longitudine ad summum angulum frontalem 11-12 
millim. ; macula gulae nigra longitudme rostri vel ultra. Var. b {Lin- 
aria betularum, Brehm) ; rostro parvo, ultra medium plumulis tecto, 
altitudine 6, longit. ab. ang. frontis 8-10 millim. ; macula gulae parva 
(longit 5-6 millim.). Besides this, Sundevall remarks, that var. a. is 
larger, with the forehead more compressed and blackish ; var. b. is 
smaller, with the foreliead high arched and greyish, 
Hautlaub asserts, in the Rev, Zool. p. 56, that Carduelis rufogularis,
