FINSCH, O. On a Collection of Birds from the Island of Trinidad.
P. Z.S. 1870, pp. 552-589.
The collection comprised 115 species, which are noticed at
length, occasion being taken to correct some errors in Leotaud's
work (Zool. Rec. iii. p. 63). Synonymy receives careful attention
; and one species {Fringillidce) receives a new name. About
350 species have occurred in Trinidad.
. Ueber eine Vogelsammlung aus Nordwest-Mexico.
Abh. Ver. Brem. 1870, pp. 321-363.
The collection contained 44 species (one of which, belonging
to Corvidce, is new), elaborate notes on most of which are given
in the author's accustomed manner, those on Otocorys being
especially praiseworthy.

Contains a variety of miscellaneous information. The most
important subject treated is perhaps the habits of Colaptes campestris,
which has called forth a note from Mr. Darwin. [See

This continues the important work before noticed (Zool. Rec.
v. p. 55, vi. p. 51). The whole number of species included is
515, of which 20 (belonging to Picidce, Tanagridce, Fringillidce,
Icteridce, Columbidce, and Cracidce) are in this part described as
new. Then follows an excellent treatise on the natural divisions
of Brazil as determined by its ornis. Four subregions, the Columbian,
Amazonian, South-Brazilian, and Chileno-Patagonian,
are established, and their limits traced on the accompanying
map, the characteristic species of each being shown by tables [Cf
