175. Chloris sinica ussuriensis Hart. = Chloris sinica ussuriensis. 

 Chlorii sinica ussuriensis Hartert, Vog. pal.. Fauna, u p. 64 (1903 — " Ostliche Mandschurei bia 

 zum Amur, Korea und die Inseln Sachalin und Askold "). 



Type : <J ad., mouth of Sidemi, Amur Bay, 30. iv. 1884. Domes Bros. leg. 

 (Sharpe, Hand-list of Birds, v. p. 196, says that Chloris must be rejected 

 because of Chloris Schwaiz 1788, but this is evidently an error.) 



176. Eophona personata magnirostris Hart. = Eophona personata magnirostris. 



Eophona personala magnirostris Hartert, Bull. B.O. Club, v. p. xxxviii. (April 1896 — Amur-land). 



Type : o ad., Amur Bay, Ussuriland, 10. iv. 1894. Eo.rics Bros. leg. 



177. Eophona melanura migratoria Hart. = Eophona melanura migratoria. 

 Eophona melanura migratoria Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 59 (1903 — " Usauri-Liinder Siidost- 

 Sibiriens"). 



Type : <J ad., Sidemi River, 24. v. 1884. Doirics Bros. leg. 



(It is interesting to .^^ce that in the case of Eophona personata the form from 

 Eastern Liberia has the larger bill, while in the E. melanura it is the small-beaked 

 one. This case shows again, what I have so often emphasized, that one cannot 

 lay down rules how the forms from one country must be, from the evidence of 

 other forms, and that nature has not developed in a machine-lilic way. Probably 

 in similar cases the development of the two forms has been quite different ; for 

 example, the one race may have become differentiated in Ussuri-land, while in 

 the other it may have been there first and become altered in the southern parts 

 of its habitat.) 



178. Guiraca rothschildii Bartl. = Cyanocompsa rothschildii. 

 Quiraca Rothschildii E. Bartlett, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. vi. p. 168 (1890— R. Carimang, 

 British Guiana). 



Type: <J ad.. River Carimang, 22. iv. 1885. H. Whitely coll. 

 (Ridgway, B. N. and Middle Amer. i. p. 594, 1903, has separated Cyanocompsa 

 from Guiraca, and other American ornithologists as well as Sharpe, Hellmayr, 

 Chubb, have followed him. While admitting that tlie two groups show some 

 differences in the shape of the wing and bill, those of the tail are not constant, 

 and altogether the differences have been overrated). 



179. Oryzoborus angolensis brevirostris Btrl. = Oryzoborus angolensis brevirostris. 

 Oryzoborus angolensis brevirostris Berlepsch, Nov. Zool. 1908. p. 115 (Cayenne).
