[Concluded from page 278.] 
On leaving Coban, in November 1859, I engaged Cipriano 
Prado, a resident of that town, to proceed to the coast-region of 
the north to collect birds for me. This man was absent nearly 
four weeks, and returned with a series of about 400 skins. At 
the same time his brother, Juan Prado, also got together some 
200 more from the Indians of Coban and its neighbourhood. 
During the months of January and February 1860 I was myself 
collecting at Duenas, and made a short excursion to Escuintla. 
Thence I returned in March, via Duenas, to Vera Paz, and ob¬ 
tained a few birds by the way on the Rio Motagua. 
At San Geronimo my friend Mr. Owen had during these 
months made a small collection, which contained several species 
I had not previously noticed in Guatemala. All these, with a 
few that I collected in the mountains of Vera Paz in the month 
of March last, form the principal part of my last collections, the 
rest being made up by two small lots, one from Tactic, and the 
other from Cajabon. 
The whole number of skins thus assembled amounts to nearly 
1000, belonging to about 220 species, of which 46 are new to 
the fauna of Guatemala.—O. S. 
To these 46 species 6 more may be added, as now satisfactorily 
ascertained to be found within our limits, making in all 52 addi¬ 
tional species. After erasing the names of a few from the first 
list, whose occurrence in Guatemala has not been confirmed, the 
whole Avifauna of that country includes 503 species—a larger 
number probably than would be found in any country of equal 
area yet explored. 
We now give the names of the additional species, as we have 
determined them, the remarks on the localities and habits being 
added by Salvin.
