Dr. Forbes {I.e.) enumerates eighty species. Of these — in addition to the 

 sixty-three sent — Mr. Kiihn observed, but did not shoot, five or six. Probably' 

 the supposed Sauropatis sancta were S. australasiae minor, so that Dr. Forbes' 

 nos. 10 and 17 would be the same. 



Psitieuteles cuteles, Ftilinopus lettieyisis and Turtur (iyriHus liave only been 

 taken by Dr. Riedel's natives so far, and it would be well if their occurrence were 

 confirmed.
