The author passed several years in Southern Brazil, espe- 
cially in the province S. Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, which 
is zoologically almost unknown. He appears to have brought 
together rather considerable collections of Vertebrata, and he 
intends to publish the more important results of his researches 
in a series of papers, of which the present is the commencement. 
Descriptions containing observations from living, as well as from 
preserved examples, like those of Dr. HenseFs contribution, are 
invaluable, especially if they be preceded by a diagnosis ex- 
pressing the principal specific characters. We trust also that 
the author will examine typical examples before he uses Spixian 
names for the species collected by him.
