r '.*132. Lanius mexicanus Brehm = Lanivs excubitor mexicanus. 



Lanitis mexicanus Brehm. Joum. f. Orn. 1SS4. pp. 145. 148 (Mexiko). 

 Type : S ad., Mexico, autumn. 



133. Lanius paradoxus A. E. Brehm = Lanius senator niloticus. 



Lanius paradoxals A. E. Brelim, Jonrn. j. Orn. 18.'54. p. 75. (No locality stated, but evidently N.E. 

 Africa.) 



Type: S ad.. Blue Nile, 12. i. 1851. A. E. Brehm leg. On the label in 

 C. L. Brehm's handwriting : " Species rarissima a nobis detecta, differt a cognatis 

 radice caudae alba." 



134. Lanius ruficaudus A. E. Brehm = L. cristatiis isabelUnus. 

 Lanius ruficaudus A. E. Brehm, Jnurn. f. Orn. 1857, p. 79 (Blue Nile). 



Type: <J ad.. Blue Nile, 31.xii. 1850. E. A. Brehm leg. 



? 135, 136. Lanius gracilis and brachyuros Brehm = L. collurio collurio. 



Lanius gracilis Brehm, Lns, 1842. pp. 665. 680 (Cape of Good Hope) ; Lanius brachyuros (neo Pallas 

 1776 ! ) id., t.c. p. 665 : Lanius hrachiuros, id., t.c, p. 681 (Cape of Good Hope). 



The probable types are two adult males collected by Krebs at the Cape of 

 Good Hope. The names gracilis and brachyuros do not appear on the labels, 

 but the specimens agree fairly well with the descriptions and are the only males 

 from South Africa in the collection. 



137. Butalis montana Brehm = Mtiscicapa striata striata. 



Butalis montana Brehm, Handb. Nalurg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 220 (1831 — " . . . die deutschen gebir- 

 gigen WSlder "). 



Types : <J $, paired, Thiiringer Wald, June. 



This is one of the cases in which an irresponsible person copied old C. L. 

 Brehm's labels, without taking the trouble of filling in aU details of the old 

 labels. As this is the only pair in the collection named B. montana, I suppose 

 they must be the types. 



138. Sylvia sylvestris Meisner = Phylloscopus collybita collybita. 

 Sylvia sylvestris Meisner, Ann. allg. schweiz. Ges. f. Natuno. Bern, 1824, p. 172 (Bern). 



An adult male, labelled : 



" Phyllopneuste sylvestris Meisner, von ihm selbst gesandt, (J vere, Bern " 

 is undoubtedly one of typical specimens of the author. Cf. Vog. pal. Fauna, 

 p. 501. 



139. Phyllopneuste gracilis Brehm = Phylloscopus trochilus eversmanni. 



Phyllopneuste gracilis Brehm, Vogelfang, p. 332 (1855 — "Orient"). 



Type : cJ ad., Wadi Haifa, Egypt, 3.iv. 1850. Oskar Brehm leg. Cf. Vog. 

 pal. Fauna, p. 509. 



*140. Phyllopneuste orientalis Brehm = Phylloscopus bonelli orientalis. 



Phyllopneuste orientalis Breiim, Vogeljaiuj. p. 232 (1855 — Wadi Haifa in Nubia, Oakar Brehm leg. 

 Tne page is 232, but in the book it is misprinted " 332 ").
