The adult males have the forehead and crown distinctly paler and more orange 

 than the nape and sides of the head, agreeing in that respect with Pani examples 

 {d. Ibis 1906. p. 13, and Nov. Zool. xiv. 1907. p. 49). No. 142, in the greenish 

 plumage of the female, shows some black feathers on the mantle and rump, and the 

 head is mostly red.

♦ In a very curious paper {Bolciim Mutt. Goeldi v. 1908. pp. 85-!)l) Dr. Goeldi emphatically declares 

 that this bird was described by him iu 1S104. .\gain5t tliis I liave only to .s,ay tliat the first piiblislied 

 description of P. ctielcsti-jnlcata is to l»e found in the Comj/trs Uriiihut Six. f'litiyr. /iiteriicit. Znol. lierne 

 [1. 5 lit, dated May 25, 190.'). tliough the vohime did not appear until October or November of that 

 year. In tlie TUi Supplement (February 19U1) to Dr. Goeldi's Vcrzcivhnis iler bixlier wissenschaftlich 

 beschriibawn jwitcn Thtcr- iind Pjiauzcnformen^ wliere the name lirst appears iu print, it is an atisohitc 

 nomen nudum. Tlie fact tliat Dr. Goeldi used the name P. caeledi-pileata, in 1901 in labelling his 

 specimens, and that the proofs of liis paper are stamped " September 1904," has no bearing whatever on the 

 case, for zoological literature has only to deal with the dates of actual publication, as is well known to 

 everybody familiar with the International Rules of Nomenclature. With regard to the footnote on p. S9, 

 I am rather surprised to learn that Dr. Uocliii is not acquainted with the liitlktin of the Brit. Orn. Cliih, 

 where he would have found a full description of P. cKiuisHa (actually published llaicli 24, IHOo).
