22 [[double underlined]] U.S. Fish Commission [[/underlined]]: Naturalists of the S.S. "Albatross". - 425 specimens, 62 species; specimens in alcohol 166, 22 species. This collection is, perhaps, of even greater interest than the one previously received, having been made chiefly on islands hitherto not visited by naturalists. In addition to several specimens of the very rare [[underlined]] Saurothera bahamensis [[/underlined]] and [underlined]] Dendroica kirtlandi [[/underlined]], the collection also contains several new forms which have been described by the curator as [[underlined]] Geothlypis coryi, G. tanneri, Centurus nyeanus, C. blakei, [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Vireo crassirostris flavescens. [[/underlined]] A small but interesting collection was also made at Key West, Florida, containing several specimens of a new [[underline]] Vireo [[/underlined]], the discovery of which, however, is anticipated by Mr. Wm. Brewster, by whom it will soon be described.
