Show 1870.] ON BIRDS FROM HONDURAS. 835 Eastern Peru to Buenos Ayres on the eastern side of the Andes, Western Peru to Chili on the western side. I have also typical specimens of E. cristata and E. albivertex of Pelzeln (Orn. Bras. p. 177), and am rather inclined to consider these also inseparable from E. albiceps. I have already pointed out that my E. griseigularis is the same bird (see P. Z.'S. 1867, p. 327). 4. E. gigas, sp. nov., ex reip. ^Equator, reg. orient. 5. E. pallatangce, Scl., ex. reip. iEquat. reg. occ. 6. E. fallax, sp. nov., ex Jamaica. Sect. B. Sp. capitis subcristati plumis interne flavis. 7. E. placens, Scl., ex Am. Centr. a Mexico usque ad isthmum Panamensem, et reip. iEquat. litt. Occident. We have now traced the species down to Panama, and I consider my E. implacens (ex rep. ^Equator.) no longer tenable. 8. E. subplacens, Scl., ex reip. ^Equator, reg. occ. 9. E. cotta, Gosse, ex Jamaica. 10. E. elegans, Pelzeln, ex Amazonia, Columbia et Guiana. 11. E. caniceps, Sw., ex Columbia et Peruvia. Sect. c. Sp. pileo unicolori. 12. E. obscura (Lafr. et D'Orb.), ex Brasil. merid. Under this (older) name I now unite the specimens arranged in my catalogue under E. olivacea and E. rustica. I have additional skins from Ypanema (Natterer), and Lagoa Santa (Lund). 13. E. mesoleuca, Cab. et Heine, ex Brasil. merid. 14. E. frantzii, Lawrence, Ann. L. N. Y.vii. p. 173, ex Costa Rica. 15. E. pudica, Sclater, ex Columbia et Chiriqui. 16. E. affinis, Burm. Syst. Ueb. ii. p. 147; Pelz. Orn. Bras. p. 191, ex Brasil. int. 8. On Birds collected by Mr. George M. Whitely on the Coast of Honduras. By P. L. SCLATER, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., and O S B E R T SALVIN, M.A. Mr. George M. Whitely went out to Honduras in the autumn of 1869 in company with the contractors engaged upon the first section of the Interoceanic line, and remained about six months in that country. Mr. Whitely's health unfortunately gave way; and he was consequently obliged to return home with much smaller collections than would otherwise have been the case. But we think it nevertheless expedient, in the interests of geographical distribution, to place on record an exact list of the species of birds obtained in |
