NOTES ON A COLLECTION OF BIRDS RECEIVED BY M. VER‐REAUX OP PARIS FROM THE RIO NAPO IN THE REPUBLIC OF ECUADOR

Resumen

Some time since I had the honour of directing the attention of this Society to a collection of birds belonging to Mr. Gould, which had been formed oil the upper Rio Napo, in the province of Quixos, in the eastern part of the republic of Ecuador *. Several other small collections have lately come into the possession of Sir William Jardine and Mr. G o d d from the same country, to all appearances preparcd by the samc hand ; but there has been nothing very striking in the way of novelties amongst them, with the exception perhaps of a new Motmot (Momotus ayuatorialis, Gould, P. Z. S. 18.57, p. 223) and one or two scarce species of Toucan.
