(Certhia leucophsea, Lath., is not Glycyphila subocularis as Mr. 

 Gray makes it, but is the Climacteris picumnus, Tern., J. G.) This 

 is sufficiently evident on comparing the drawing of C. leucophcBa with 

 Mr. Gould's figure of the female Climacteris picumnus. This bird 

 should therefore be designated as Climacteris leucophaa (Lath.). 



The Certhia atricapilla of Lath, is figured and described with a 

 white chin, which distinguishes it from the Meliphaga atricapilla of 

 Sir W. Jardine's ' Illustrations of Ornithology,' ser. 1. pi. 134. f. 1. 

 Mr. Gray unites it to Melithreptus lunulatus (Shaw), but that differs 

 in having a white band at the back of the head. The Certhia atri- 

 capilla, Lath., is therefore either a distinct species from both the 

 above, or it may possibly be the young of Jardine's M. atricapilla, 



Certhia sanguinolenta is probably the female of Myzomela dibapha. 



To the synonyms of Certhia dibapha, Lath., add Meliphaga car- 

 dinalis, V. and H. (nee Certhia cardinalis, Lath.) and Certhia austra- 

 lasice, Leach. 



(Certhia canescens, Lath., is perhaps the Colluriocincla cinerea, V. 

 and H., J. G.) 



Certhia cccrulescens , Lath., is the Zoster ops dorsalis, Vig., not the 

 Z. tenuirostris, Gould. It is also the Sylvia lateralis of Latham, and 

 the latter specific name seems preferable to ccerulescens . Add Certhia 

 diluta, Shaw, and Philedon cceruleus, Cuv., to the synonyms of Zos- 

 ter ops lateralis. 



Add Certhia xanthotis, Shaw, to the synonyms of Certhia chry- 

 sotis, Lath. 



P. 192. Mr. Gray makes the Meliphaga auricomis of Vigors, 

 Swainson and Gould, to be distinct from Muscicapa auricomis, Lath., 

 but I do not see on what grounds. This bird is figured no less than 

 four times over in the "New S. Wales Drawings" — once as Tur- 

 dus melanops, and again under Latham's MS. names of Muscicapa 

 australis, Sylvia mystacea, and Muscicapa novce hollandice. These three 

 last references Latham seems to have afterwards incorporated into 

 one species, described in his second Supplement under the name of 

 Muscicapa auricomis. The species should therefore retain the ap- 

 propriate name of Ptilotis auricomis. 



Turdus harmonicus, Lath., is, I have no doubt, a synonym of Col- 

 luriocincla cinerea,Vig., which should therefore stand as Colluriocincla 

 harmonica. 



Turdus prasinus, Lath., seems to be the young of Pachycephala 

 rufiventris (Lath.). 



(Turdus tenebrosus, Lath., is perhaps the young of Artamus sor- 

 didus, J. G.) 



To the synonyms of Turdus lunulatus, Lath., add Turdus varius, 

 V. and H., and perhaps also T. varius of Horsfield's 'Java.' 



(Turdus fuliginosus, Lath., is Merula nestor, Gould, J. G.), and 

 will now stand as Merula fuliginosa. 



(Turdus maxillaris, Lath., is perhaps the Sphecotheres australis, 

 Sw., J. G.) 



(Turdus mellinus, Lath., is the young male of Sericulus chrysoce- 

 phalus, J. G.)
