Poospka bonapaHii is described and figured as a new species from Western 
Peru, like P. torquala, but having scarcely a tinge of red on the rump and 
the bill thicker, longer, and flesh-coloured at base. It may, however, pos- 
sibly bo identical with P. clominicensisj Bp. (Oonsp. Ay. i. p. 473). P. L. 
Sclater, P. Z. S. 1807, p. 341, pi. xx. 
Chlorospiza [?']phimbea and Sycalis aurewentrh (Zool. Bee. ii. p. 118). A 
Spanish version of their descriptions. L. Landbeck, Anal. Univers. Chile, 
1864, pp. 341-345. 
Coturniciilus mexicamts is described as a new species from Western Mexico. 
It is a northern form of C. manimbe and C. peruanmy in colour most resem- 
bling the former. G. N. Lawrence, Ann. Lyc. N. York, 1867, pp. 475, 476. 
[Probably identical with Peuccea hotteri, Sclat. (P. Z. S. 1857, p. 214). 0. 
Salvin, Ibis, 1868, p. 116.] 
Pyryisoma xantusi, Baird,” is described as a new species from Western 
Mexico, very similar in size and appearance to P. biai'cuatum, but without 
the white crescent on the side of the neck, and having the cheeks olive. 
Notes on the species last named and also P. kieneri are added. G. N. Law- 
rence, Ann. Lyc. N. York, 1867, pp. 480, 481. [P. xantusi is apparently 
identical with Melozone ruhricata (Cab., Mus. Hein. i. p. 140). 0. Salvin, 
Ibis, 1868, p. 116.] 
Passerculus yuttatus is a new species from Lower California, resembling P. 
rosiratus in the size and form of the bill, but it is very much darker above, 
and differs from all its allies in the obscure greyish colouring of this part, 
and in being more closely spotted beneath. G. N. Lawrence, Ann. Lyc. N. 
York, 1867, p. 473. 
Passerculus alaudinus is figured. I). G. Elliot, B. N. Am. part iii. 
Zonotrichia boucardi is a new species from Mexico, much allied to Peucceuy 
in which genus it might perhaps be placed. The colours of the head and 
upper back much resemble those of P. cestivalis ; but the red markings are 
rather brighter. P. L. Sclater, P. Z. S. 1867, pp. 1, 2, pi. i. 
Zonotrichia melanotis is described as a new and well-marked species from 
Western Mexico, with a large bill, and readily known by the four strongly 
defined black stripes on the head, separated by three greyish-white ones. G. 
N. Lawrence, Ann. Lyc. N. York, 1867, pp. 473, 474. [Possibly the same as 
Hcemopkila humeralisy Cab. (Mus. Hein. i. p. 132). 0. Salvin, Ibis, 1868, 
p. 115.] 
Zonotrichia belli is figured. D. G. Elliot, B. N. Am. part vi. 
Pyryita fazoylensisy P, cdhirinay and P. pectoralisy P. Wiirt.” (Naumannia, 
1867, p. 433), are refeived, the first to Xanthodira dentatUy Sundev., the second 
and last to local races of P. domestica. P. crassirostris, from the Duke Paul’s 
collection, is a large deeply coloured P. swainsoni. T. v. Heuglin, J. f. 0. 1867, 
p. 299. 
Pyryita montana and Passer italice are figured. E. Bettoni, tavv. 9, 13.

and rufous-brown supercilia. E. Blyth, Ibis, 1865, p. 46. 
Montifrinyilla adamsi is figured. J. Gould, B. As. part xix.
