count of the welfare of our colleague, Mr. E. L. Layard, 
whom he met with at the capital of our new Feejeean Do¬ 
minion.—P. L. S. 
Corrigenda . An unfortunate misprint has been made in the 
Supplementary number of our last volume,, p. 462. Otocaris 
should have been printed Otocoris, the name having been 
thus written by Messrs. Blanford and Hume, whereas Oto- 
corys (rcopvs, alauda) is the correct spelling; we have, un¬ 
fortunately, given them the credit of a still greater blunder. 
Again, at p. 491, Mr. Brooks should have been named as the 
author who, according to Lord Walden, had wrongly identi¬ 
fied specimens of Siphia hyperythra with Erythrosternaparva.

Our last letter from Mr. Salvin (dated Guatemala, March 
15th) announces his speedy return to England, via New York. 
He had lately been into Vera Paz, as far as Coban, staying a 
few days at San Geronimo by the way, where he had found 
Panyptila sancti-hieronymi engaged in nest-building. Oreo- 
phasis derhianus occurs, without doubt, in Vera Paz, several 
specimens having been obtained in a high ridge of mountains 
on the left bank of the Bio Negro, above the village of Chi- 
caman in what was the department of Totonicapam, hut now 
Gueguetenango.
