(Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., XIII, pt. 1, May, 1821, p. 149; "Java"), which 

 latter is now Myophonus flavirostris (Horsfield). There is, however, an 

 available name in Turdus rofo-palliatiis [sic] Lafresnaye (Rev. Zool., Ill, 

 No. 9, September, 1840, p. 259; "Monterey en Californie"), and we may 

 therefore call the species Turdus rofopalliatus Lafresnaye. As the locality 

 given in the original description, Monterey, California, is, of course, 

 erroneous, it seems advisable now to select a proper type locality, and we 

 hereby designate Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico, as such, since the specimen 

 from which Lafresnaye prepared his description was collected by Leclan- 

 cher during the voyage of the "Venus." 



Merula cinerascens Reichenow. 

 Another specific name that becomes invalid by the change of Merula 

 to Turdus is Merula cinerascens Reichenow (Ornith. Monatsber., VI, No- 

 5, May, 1898, p. 82; " Tabora und Kakoma im InnernDeutsch Ost Afrika"), 

 since it thereby becomes preoccupied by Turdus cinerascens Latham (Ind. 

 Ornith., I, 1790, p. 352; "India"). Since it has no other available name, we 

 propose that it be known as Turdus tephrinus, nom. nov.
