In continuation of the very interesting series of papers 
noticed last year (Zool. Rec. iv. p. 68), and of the same cha- 
racter. An account of the mode of breeding of thirteen more 
species (one belonging to Tyrannidm being new) is given, as well 
as further particulars of one respecting which mention has al- 
ready been made.

Notes on four species, two of which, belonging to Dendroco^ 
laptidm and TroglodytidcR, appear to be described as new. 
Lawrence, G. N. A Catalogue of the Birds of Costa Rica. 
Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist. New York, 1868, pp. 86-141*. 
This catalogue is based upon the collections received by the 
Smithsonian Institution, supplemented by information received 
from other sources, and includes notices of 474 species of Land- 
birds, of which twelve (belonging to TrogonidcSj Formicariidai , 
Dendrocolaptidce, Tyrannidce, Mniotiltidcej Tanagrtdoij Colum- 
bidee, and Tinamid(^ are described as new, while a thirteenth 
{Trochilidde) may be so. In the introductory remarks the 
author gives a summary of previous writings on Costa- Rican 
ornithology, and three lists, the first two of species noted from 
Chiriqui and Veraguas respectively which may be found in 
Costa Rica, and the tliird of northern species obtained in Pa- 
nama but not yet observed in the eountry of which the paper 
treats. The remainder of the paper is devoted to the catalogue, 
which, in the great majority of cases, gives only the name of the 
species and of the locality where it has been obtained. [Cy.

The object of this work is to give a connected account of the 
results ofNatterer^s travels. It consists first of a list of the 
species collected by him, showing the number of specimens of 
each and the dates when they were procured ; and this first part 
of the book includes one hundred species, being about a twelfth 
of his collections. Then follows a description by the author of 
twenty new or little-known species. Of the former there are 
Tho concluding part of this paper (which, as internal evidence shows, 
does not belong to tho literature of 18G8), beginning in the middle of 
page 141 with the order Grallce, has just reached us. We only mention it 
now to obviate any confusion that might arise when the whole is bound up 
and there is nothing left to show that one part was printed nearly twelve 
months before the otlier.
