The numbers of the 1 Revue et Magasin de Zoologie y for 
February, March, and April of this year have reached us. They 
contain several articles on Ornithology. (1) Description et 
figure d'une nouvelle espece &’ Euphonia,” by Ch. F. Dubois. 
This Guatemalan Euphonia [E. cyaneidorsalis) seems different 
from the Mexican E. occipitalis, though closely allied to it. It 
is, therefore, very probable that the bird included in the list of 
Guatemalan species (antea,p,V7) as Chlorophonia occipitalis really 
belongs to the latter species. We request Sir William Jardine's 
attention to this point. (2) “ Notes Ornithologiques," by M. A. 
Moquin-Tandon; a continuation of that gentleman's notes on 
the Birds of Southern France. (3) “ Notes sur quelques Oiseaux 
du Mexique," by M. H. de Saussure. Three new species are 
described, Hypotriorchis ferrugineus , Acanthylis semicollaris, and 
Quiscalus sumichrasti, and other notes are given. (4) “ Notice 
sur un vieux male de Canard siffleur h plumage de femelle," by 
M. L. Roget, of Geneva. 
We have managed to procure, after some trouble, the number 
of the Scientific Journal— f L'Institut'—which contains Dr.Pu- 
cheran's article entitled “ Oiseaux des Isles Sandwich," alluded to 
in our last Number. It is No. 1306, published 12th Jan. 1859. 
The article appears to have been the substance of a communica¬ 
tion made to the Societe Philomathique of Paris, and relates to 
the general character of the peculiar Avifauna of the Sandwich 
Islands. In No. 1310 of the same Journal, published 9th Feb. 
1859, is a second paper by the same author, read before the 
same learned body “ Observations sur deux especes de Pas- 
sereaux originaires des A 9 ores." The discovery of a new species 
of the limited group of true Fringilla in the Azores [Fringilla 
moreleti) is of great interest. The bird appears to be allied to 
F. canariensis and F. teydea of the Canaries. The second Pas¬ 
serine mentioned is, strange to say, the Greater Bullfinch of 
Europe ( Pyrrhula coccinea ). The occurrence of these European 
forms in the Azores tends to throw these islands into the same 
category as the Canaries and Madeira, and to show that they
