A Spanish version of the first paper by the author and Dr. 
Philippi in the ^Archiv fur Naturgeschichte^ (Zool. Rec. ii. 
p. 81), and of the paper in the same periodical by the author 
alone (Zool. Rec. ii. p. 80).

We place our remarks on this paper here, because a bare ma- 
jority of the nineteen species described belong to the Neotro- 
pical Region (see Trochilid^ej Formicariid(By Dendrocolaptidee, 
CotingiddB, TyrannideSj Tanagridce, Fringillidce, Tetraonida) ; but 
the rest would appear to come into the Nearctic avifauna. 
Some of the species are asserted to be not new (Ibis, 1868, 
pp. 114, 115).

After giving a very complete summary of what had been pre- 
viously known of the ornithology of the district (which is com- 
pounded of that of the neighbouring districts of Panama and 
Costa Rica, with the addition of some few peculiar forms), the 
author proceeds to enumerate 220 species sent thence by one of 
his collectors [cf. Zool. Rec. iii. p. 64) . Of these, 23 had not pre- 
viously been noticed as belonging to Central America ; and some 
valuable observations on the physical geography of the district 
are added. Two new species are described, belonging to Cracidae 
and Tetraonidce, and Buarremon crassirostris is figured.

pp. 319-340. 
After a summary of the literature of the subject subsequent 
to Dr. HartlauVs paper (Naumannia, 1853, pp. 207-222), the 
author treats very concisely the different families of birds known 
to occur in Chili, with especial reference to the species recently 
described by Messrs. Philippi and Laudbeck (Zool. Rec. ii. 
pp. 80, 81, iii. p. 64), with types of which they have supplied 
him. Mr. Sclater is therefore able to speak with authority re-
