Part II. Tom, cit, pp. 626-632. 
The first of these papers contains a nominal list of 126 species 
arranged in a tabular form to show the localities at which they 
were obtained by the collector, to which are added notes on 13 
of them. Three, belonging to Mniotiltidm and Tyrannidcc (2), 
are new, and two are figured, one of the last being the type of a 
new genus. 
The second paper is on the sa;me plan. The nominal list 
includes 99 species ; and notes are appended to 13, of which 2, 
belonging to Cotingidm and TyrannidcCj are new.

Part II. Tom, cit, pp. 173-178. Part. III. Tom, cit, 
pp. 568-570. 
These two articles are in continuation of that noticed last 
year (Zool. Rec. iv. p. 71). The first contains a list of a collec- 
tion made in the Tambo valley, including 28 species, none of 
Avhich are new : but valuable critical notes are appended to it, 
and woodcuts of the head of 2 species, belonging to Tanagrida (?) 
and RallidcBy are introduced. Various emendations of the species 
included in Dr. SalvadoiPs paper (Zool. Rec. ii. p. 59) are added 
(p. 175, note). 
The second article contains a list of a small collection of 1 1 
species (none of which are new) made near Arequipa. To it is 
subjoined a nominal list of the 83 species obtained by Mr. II. 
Whitely in Western Peru; and the more salient features of tlie 
ornis of that district compared with that of the corresponding 
eastern slope of the Andes are briefly given. The former is 
without many of the groups characteristic of the latter, and the 
majority of the forms it possesses are common to the Patagonian 
Province of the Neotropical Region.
