 ill Sliai'iie's lldml-lint, iv. pp. liO'J, ;i7u, are tlic same, and that in my opinion this 

 sj)L'i'ie.s is a Piimrolestes and not a ColUuirinchi. The generic name was (iriginally 

 sjielt ('olhniriiii-lii, and Dr. t>iiarpe's recent spciiinj; is an error.

I cannot see the reason why this species and ( '. nifii/astcr are separated 

 geuerieally and placed with rinarolestes. C. parcula stands between the group of 

 large species (Jiarmonica, brunnea, etc.) and the small ones {rujigaster, parvisxima , 

 etc.). The eggs of the former and latter groups are quite alike, e.xcept in size. 



1(>7. Cracticus quoyi tunneyi subsp. nov. 



The black Vracticua from the Alligator River are clearly distinct from both 

 C. 'jiio;/' ijiiiiiji and C. ijnoiji rujescents. Their bills are long and slender, as 

 thin as those of (,'. </. iiifi'iscens, but much thinner and longer than those of 

 U. quoyi (jHoi/i. The wing is also much longer than in either of the two other 

 known ibrms. There ai)pcar to be four forms of black Cracficus : —
