Of the Birds of the Cape Verde Islands twenty-five species 
are enumerated, and of those of Ilha do Principe thirty-nine, 
but some are not named with precision. The new species from 
the last locality, discovered by Dr. Dohrn [vide supra\j are nearly 
all mentioned, and some further details of their habits are 
given.

This title is hardly correct j for several of the species peculiar 
to one or other of the Mascarene islands are ^also mentioned. 
It is the forerunner of a more extensive work on the subject. 
One. hundred and thirty-four species seem to have been obtained, 
of which three, belonging to the families Cypselidm, PittidcBy and 
PloceidcBy are here named or described for the first time. A 
new generic division i\\ Muscicapidee is also indicated, but not 
characterized. A considerable number of supposed species are 
identified with others, the more important of which determina- 
tions are noticed in our special part. The whole paper is a 
valuable commentary on Dr. Ilartlaub^s well-known work, as 
well as on the other papers relating to the subject.
