Messrs. Salvin and Sclater on the 
ptents rufus, of Duenas j Lampornis prevosti, of Escuintla; Chry - 
suronia clicioe, of Cob an; Heliothrix harroti , of the northern 
tierra caliente; and Lamprolcema rhami, of the Volcan de Fuego, 
making altogether twenty-nine species. Three others I have not 
been so fortunate as to meet with, namely Florisuga mellivora, 
of the northern tierra caliente, and Delattria henrici and Selas- 
phorns platycercus, which are said to occur in the Volcan de 
Fuego, on Don Vicente Constancies authority. 
XXXIII,— Contributions to the Ornithology of Guatemala . By 
Osbert Salvin and Philip Lutley Sclater. Part II. 
[Continued from page 45.] 
During the autumn of 1859 I collected, in the vicinity of 
Duenas on the table-land of Guatemala, and near Coban and 
Salami! in the Vera Paz, about 870 specimens of birds, belong¬ 
ing to 245 different species, 39 of which are new to the fauna 
of this country, and have not been noticed in previous papers in 
this Journal relating to the ornithology of Central America. 
Of these I now give the names, as determined by Mr. Sclater 
and myself, together with my field-notes written concerning 
them at the time they were obtained, and some joint remarks 
on their synonymy and distribution.—0. S. 
L Turdus assim ilis, Cab.: Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 327. 
Duenas, August 1859. Two specimens were obtained in the 
above locality. I never met with T. leucauehen, Sclater, which 
appears to be common in the low lands of the northern portion 
of Vera Paz, in this part of Guatemala. 
2. Turdus pallasi. Cab.: Sclater, P. Z. S. 1859, p. 325. 
Coban, Vera Paz, November 1859. A single specimen, ap¬ 
parently of this species.

A olean de Agua, January 1860. A single specimen, obtained 
at an elevation of about 6500 feet , agrees nearly with Mexican 
skins of this bird in Sclater^s collection.
