Ill the llumll. Birds Brit. Mas. vol. iv. p. 340 (1903) Anujtornis (Stejneger, 

 Stanrl. Xat. Hist. vol. iv. p. 499, 1885) is used as the genus name for the genu.s 

 Aiiii/ti.i Lesson (preoccupied). However, at that quotation Amytornis is virtually 

 a nude name, and, as far as I can trace, its first systematic use is in the Ila/x/list 

 us above (19(i:)). But Oberholser lind jirevionsly correctly jiroposed DiaphoriUa.s 

 for the same genus, and consequently that name must be used.

The Watling drawing, the type of cyanoleucn, is a good representation of tiie 

 bird previously known as picata.

From an examination of Watling drawing No. 27 I made the above identifi- 

 cation, and upon referring to Hist. Coll. Brit. Miis. ii. p. 113 (1900) I found that 

 Sharpe had obtained the same result ; but by writing " L. torquatiis becomes a 

 synonym of C. di:striietor'" I had overlooked that the former name liad almost 

 twenty years' priority.

Examination of the Watling drawings confirms this change, j)ointcd out by 

 Sharpe {Hist. Coll. Brit. Mas. ii. p. 134). 



Page 90 : Genus CCLXXXIX. The authority for Dicneum is Cnvier. 



Dicaeum is usually quoted as of Cnvier, Rryne Animal, i. p. 41ii, 1817 : a 

 reference to Vieiliot, Noiiv. Diet, et Hist. Nat. vol. ix. p. 407, 1817, caused me to 

 look up the dates of these two works. 



From the Bibliothi'que Francaiso I gained the following dates of receipt :
