. A monograph of the weaver-birds, Ploceidae, and arboreal and terrestrial finches, Fringillidae . n Eastern Venezuela, where myfirst collections were formed. It is singular that Cardinalis phoeniceus, socommon near Cariipano, is very rare here. I have never seen this bird onthe hills, but only on the jilains near the coast, which are covered with asimple vegetation of Mimosa, Cactus, &c. On the authoiity of Dr. 0. Finsch this species was received in a collec-tion of birds sent to Mr. Kohlmann from the island of Trinidad. The specimen a in my own collection is one of the types described byBona
