A continuation of the paper noticed last year (Zool. Bee. iii. 
p. 64) . Twelve species are mentioned, of which two (belonging 
to Fringillid(B and Rallidce) are named as new. 
. Bemarks on Hr. Leotaud*s * Birds of Trinidad.^ Ibis, 
1867, pp. 104-108. 
Leotaud^s book (Zool. Bee. iii. pp. 63, 64) contains very few 
serious faults j but he is wrong in supposing that Trinidad has 
anything in common with the other West-India Islands ; and the 
species which are common to the first and to North America 
probably . And their way thither by Venezuela. Notes on some 
dozen sp§cms follow; but by these we benefited in our^Becord^ 
last year,^ and the substance of them will be found incorporated 
with ourrjcxtracts from Leotaud^s work. 
ScLATER, |P, "L., and Salvin, Osbert. List of Birds collected 
on the 'Blewfields Biver, Mosquito Coast, by Mr. Henry 
Wickham. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1867, pp. 278-280. 
No collections from this district had hitherto been examined 
by the authors. The nearest point of the ornithology of which 
any account: has been published is Greytown {cf. Zool. Bee. ii. 
p. 81). Mr.’Wickham^s collection contains 39 species, of which 
none are but the district being one of interest (for it is 
somewhere }mre that the fauna of Guatemala passes into that of 
Costa Bica) a complete list of it is given. Some seven species 
in it have not before been recorded from a locality so far 
north. 
, . List of Birds collected by Mr. Wallace on the 
Lower Amazons and Bio Negro. Tom. cit. pp. 566-596, 
pis. xxix., XXX. 
This very praiseworthy paper is a successful attempt to set 
forth the ornis of the districts to which it refers, and is as com- 
plete as it could possibly be made, considering that the bulk of 
Mr. Wallace's collections perished by fire on their way home, 
while some other portions have been dispersed without being 
catalogued. After naming the chief localities at which the spe- 
cimens were obtained, the authors give a careful list of the 282 
species (3 of which, belonging to Vireonidee (2) and Cotingid(B, are 
new) to which they are referred; and then follow some highly in- 
teresting generalizations on the avifauna of the country, the re- 
sults of which fully agree with the conclusions drawn by Mr. Bates 
from a consideration of the Diurnal Lepidoptera of the Amazon- 
valley (Trans. Entom. .Soc. n. s. xv. pp. 223-335), and may be
