[[double underlined]]Chas. H Townsend[[/double underlined]], Washington D.C. - 125 specimens, 63 species, from Ruatan Island, and Truxillo, Honduras.

[[double underlined]]United States Fish Commission[[/double underlined]], Washington, D.C. - 179 specimens, 50 species, all collected during the cruise of the Fish Commission schooner "Grampus", Capt. J. W. Collins, by Messrs. William Palmer and Frederic A. Lucas of the National Museum.  The collection is a valuable one, not only for the species collected, but also for the excellence of the preparation.  It contains many interesting species and plumages especially those of young birds.  A pair of the Newfoundland Ptarmigan
[[underlined]](Lagopus welchi[[/underlined]]) recently described, and hitherto unrepresented in the museum collection, deserve special mention.
