ADDENDA.
_Orchilla_, page 29.--This valuable lichen comes chiefly from Tumbez. It
is not found on the rocks, like the orchilla of the Old World, but grows
on various trees. The foliage of a tree disappears when the orchilla
commences. The sea air is indispensable to its production, as it is
found only near the coast.
_Religious Intolerance_, p. 91.--The expression "Protestant dogs" has
since been publicly repeated by a priest in a sermon, who told the
people to confess, or they would be treated in a similar way. It called

Pope's Nuncio left Quito for good in July, 1869.
_Fish in the Quito Valley_, p. 107.--Dr. Gill informs me that the true
name of this little fish is _Cyclopium Humboldtii_, Swainson. It belongs
to the sub-family Trachelypterinae, under Siluridae.
_Hummers' Nests_, p. 108.--They are not always of a lengthened form, as
the text would imply, but are sometimes quite shallow. They are
invariably lined with the softest vegetable materials and covered with
moss. The nests are not as compact as those of our Northern hummer, and,
so far as we observed, are never shingled with flat lichens.
