Hirundinace^. — Landbek has given some valuable observations on 
Hirundo rupestris in the Isis, p. 97- The New Holland Swallow, which 
Vigors and Horsfield had comprehended under one species with Hirundo 
javanica, has been separated from it by Gould, and defined as H. ne- 
oxena (Birds of Australia, part 9). In the same part are given Atticora 
(Hirundo) leucosternon, G., Collocalia arid and arhorea. 
CLAMATORES. 
Macrochires. — Townsend has discoyered a new Swift at 
Columbia Riyer. 
He names it Cypselus Vauxii, and distinguishes it from C. pelasgius, 
with which it may be confomided, from its lighter colour and much 
smaller size ; only long. (Journ. of the Acad, of Philad. viii. p. 148.) 
Hartlaub (Rev. Zool. p. 58), and Delessert (in his Souv. p. 25, tab. 9), 
have mentioned, that Cypselus leuconotus, Del., is identical with Choe- 
tura nudipes. Cypselus australis has been represented by Gould in 
the Birds of Australia (part 9) ; Acanthylis caudacuta, Lath, (ibid.) 
Bourcier has described, in the Rev. Zool. p. 373, three species of 
Humming-birds from Columbia, by the names of Ormismyia Aline, 
Julie, and Mulsant. Lesson has given the name of 0. cinnamomea 
to a fourth species from Acapulco (ibid. p. 175). Longuemare has given 
a drawing of his 0. Clarisse, in the Mag. de Zool. N. 23. 
Caprimulginas. — Eurostopodus ( Caprhnulgus ) albigularis, Vig., 
and guttatus, Vig., have been represented by Gould. (Op. sup. cit. 
part 9). 
ToDiDiE. — Gould has given a plate of the Merops ornatus. Lath, 
(part 7). According to Hartlaub’s statement, Alcemerops paleazureus. 
Less., is = A. Athertoni, Jard. = Nyctiornis caruleus, Sw. = N. am- 
herstianus, Royl. = Bucia nipalensis, Hodgs. (Rev. Zool. p, 58.) 
LiPOGLosSiE. — Brehm, in the Isis, p. 488, has divided the European 
Hoopoe into four sub-species — Upupa hifasciata, macrorhynchos, epops, 
and hradiyrhynchos. From observation of a live specimen, he thinks 
that this genus must be added to the Earth "Woodpeckers. There is a 
beautiful plate of Buceros cassidix, fern., in the Nederl. Verhandel. n. 7. 
Todiramphus recurvirostris, Lafr. (Rev. Zool. p. 134), was brought 
from the South Sea, and is the third species of this genus. 
Strickland has lately proved, that Alcedo smyrnensis, Linn., is actually 
to be found in Asia Minor (Ann. of Nat, Hist. ix. p. 441). Two species 
of Prionites have been described by Lesson, from Central America ; 
Crypticus ( Hylomanes ) apiaster, and Momofus Lessonii (Rev. Zool. 
p. 174).
