"Agrees with the specimens in Mr. Sclater's collection ; a single specimen obtained at Chamicuros."-E. B. Fam. TYRANNIDCE. Of the great family Tyrannidse forty well-determined species were obtained by Mr. Bartlett, besides skins of several others not determinable from imperfection or other causes. Most of them are widely distributed ; but several are peculiarly Upper-Amazonian, viz. Muscisaxicola fluviatilis, Todirostrum chrysocrotaphum, Euscarthmus spicifer, Serpophaga hypoleuca, Myiozetetes sulphureus, Muscivora castelnaudi (if distinct from M. regia). The occurrence of the North-American Kingbird (Tyrannus pipiri) so far south is of interest, as is also the meeting with Tyrannus aurantio-atro-cristatus so far north. 1.
