The author visited the islands in 1859, and soon after pub- 
lished a list of the birds he saw there (Proc. Boston Soc. N. H. 
vii. p. 102) . Wishing to know more about them he returned 
thither in 1865-66; and this paper contains his observations on 
the 31 species he there met with, which either he did not see 
during his first visit or else present some new feature wortliy of 
notice. Only one (belonging to Mniotiltidai) is described as 
new, but of two others {Tyrannidce and Turdidoi) varieties are 
noticed. [Cf. Ibis, 1868, pp. 229, 230.)

This list is founded on three collections — that of M. Salle 
(P. Z. S. 1857, p. 230), made in the eastern or Dominican end 
of the island, and two others from the western or Hay tian, which 
have not before been catalogued. In all, 79 species are included, 
of which one is new {Fringillida:) , and varieties of others (Hirun- 
dinidcBf Tyrannid(B, and Turdidd) to the number of four are 
described.

A very valuable and interesting series of papers. After de- 
scribing at some length the physical features of the district of 
Cantagallo, situated between the northern slopes of the Serra de 
Nova Friburgo and the river Parahyba, in which his observa- 
tions were made, the author proceeds to give an account of the 
times and habits of breeding of the birds inhabiting it, to the 
number of about 400 species, of which he has obtained about 
250 at Cantagallo. The nomenclature employed is that of the 
late Prince Maximilian of Wied. To the first article three 
tables are appended, adding much to the facility of reference. 
These show (1) the times at which the different species lay their 
eggs, in chronological order, (2) the same arranged according 
to the species, and (3) the maximum number of eggs of each. 
The two remaining papers contain various careful observations 
on the nests and eggs of the birds noticed.
