The types of passer, incallida, and viralis are in the British Museum; 

 those of loculata and conspicua are in the Tepper collection; a specimen 

 of loculata also marked " type" is in the British Museum. Mr. Walker's 

 type is a badly rubbed specimen, undoubtedly the same as passer. I can 

 not understand how both Mr. Grote and Mr. Butler could see any re- 

 semblance to venerabilis, and at all events the structural characters 

 should have prevented the reference. Mr. Grote's type of viralis is a 

 badly faded and discolored specimen, also without doubt the same as 

 passer. In the Cambridge Museum is a specimen of this same species 

 marked u Hadena destructor Peck,' ? in Mr. Grote's handwriting.
