Show 566 MESSRS. SCLATER AND SALVIN ON PERUVIAN BIRDS. [Dec. 13, has stated in one of his works that the flesh of the Giraffe is good to eat, or that it has not an agreeable flavour. P.S. Since this paper was read, I have had an opportunity of examining the Hippopotamus that was recently burnt at the Crystal Palace; and in this animal I find a still more remarkable intestinal gland, of the same character as that of the Giraffe. 6. O n some Additions to the Catalogue of Birds collected by Mr. E. Bartlett on the River Ucayali. By P. L. SCLATER, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., and O S B E R T SALVIN, M.A., F.L.S., &c. Since our previous communication to the Society on Mr. Bartlett's ornithological collections in Eastern Peru *, a second, small collection has been received, amongst which are examples of twenty species which did not occur in the former one, and of which the names with some remarks are now given. We have no exact information as to the locality of the present series; but they are probably from the Lower Ucayali or the vicinity of Nauta. Mr. Bartlett has now moved further up, to Yurimaguas on the Huallaga, and its vicinity. Fam. TANAGRID^E. 1. PROCNIAS OCCIDENTALIS, Sclater, C. A. B. p. 55. 1013-16. Fam. FRINGILLID^E. 2. G U I R A C A CYANOIDES (Lafr.); Sclater, C. A. B. p. 101. Fam. DENDROCOLAPTID^E. 3. ANCISTROPS LINEATICEPS, Sclater, C. A. B. p. 157. One example, agreeing with Sclater's type specimen from the same country. 4. AUTOMOLUS ERYTHROPTERUS, Sclater, C. A. B. p. 158. A single example, agreeing well with Sclater's type, which is a Bogota skin. 5. XENOPS HETERURUS, Cab. & Hein.; Sclater, C. A. B. p. 159. A single example of very diminutive size, but otherwise best agreeing with X. heterurus ex Bogota. Whether this form be really distinct from the Brazilian X. rutilus is perhaps rather doubtful. Fam.
