 IS'Sl.—Alecthella Sw., (nee Less. 1826). 



As has already been stated, p. 133, foot note, the name Saro- 



thrura of Heine seems to be the only one applicable to this genus.

Of the last two species I have never seen any specimens and they 

 may prove to l^e synonyms. The names "cercoleps Tern." and 

 "caudatus Cuv. " given in Gray's Hand List under this section, I have 

 been unable to find, but as their habitat is given as Philippines they 

 probably do not belong in the genus Sarothrura.
