1. Tardus ruf torques , Hartl., sp. 4*. 
Duenas. Proceeding from Duenas towards Alotenango, this 
Thrush is common, but on the northern side of the road from 
Ciudad Yieja to Duenas I have never once seen it. This seems 
strange, as it may be met with abundantly, almost within shot 
of the road, on the southern side. 
2. Catharus melpomene (Cab.), sp. 7. 
Duenas, July 23. Though hardly so sweet as that of the Robin 
of Europe ( JErythacus rubeculd ), the notes of this bird bear no 
faint resemblance to those of our familiar songster. Towards 
evening it may frequently be heard in the wooded spots near 
Duenas; but, owing to its shy habits and the thickness of the 
underwood to which it resorts, it is seldom seen. The eyes, bill, 
and eyelids of this bird are of an orange hue tending towards 
vermilion. 
3. Melanotis hypoleucus , Hartl., sp. 12. 
Coban and Duenas. A young bird (obtained July 23rd) in 
nestling plumage ; is of a uniform dull blackish, with the white 
feathers beginning to develope themselves on the breast and 
belly.—P. L. S.

5. Campylorhyncus zonatus (Less.) : Cent. Zool. p. 70. 
Duenas, July 18th. This bird is not found quite so low 
down as Duenas; but on ascending a short distance, it is com¬ 
mon. It is always found in companies of eight or ten, or even 
more, frequenting the upper parts of the forest. Its cry is loud
