Show 1870.] DR. o. FINSCH O N THE BIRDS OF TRINIDAD. 557 9. CYMINDIS UNCINATUS, 111.; Schleg. Mus. P.-B. Pernes, p. 8 ; Leot. p. 36. One specimen in the dress of the younger bird, as described by Dr. Leotaud (p. 38). CYMINDIS PUCHERANI, Leot. p. 40. Very probably this species is identical with Falco vitticaudatus, Neuw. (Beitr. p. 178; Cymindis vitticaudus, Pelz. i. p. 6), which Professor Schlegel declares to be nothing more than a black variety of C. uncinatus (Mus. P.-B. Pernes, p. 8). It bas certainly nothing whatever to do with Urubitinga anthracina or U. schistacea, as Dr. Sclater suggests (Ibis, 1867, p. 107), but is a true Cymindis (tarsus 13-J"'!). 10. GAMPSONYX SWAINSONI, Vig.; Burm.ii. p. 114; Leot. p. 41. Two specimens of this widely distributed species, agreeing with specimens from Northern Brazil (Ceara). Fam. STRIGIDAE. 11.

Glaucidium ferrugineum, Taylor, Ibis, 1864, p. 80. One specimen, which I am not able to distinguish from Brazilian specimens. 12. SCOPS BRASILIENSIS, Briss. Scops decussata, Burm. ii. p. 126. Ephialtes portoricensis, Leot. p. 57. One specimen, agreeing with Brazilian specimens. 13. SYRNIUM TORQUATUM (Daud.). Athene torquata, Leot. p. 52. One specimen. Order PASSERES. Fam.

One specimen, tinged more strongly with rufous brown than in a Brazilian specimen before me, but evidently of the same species, which varies a good deal, as mentioned by Dr. Sclater.
