ii., p. 199, after an examiiiatiou of this specimeu which seems to 

 be unique.

 labelled as above in his hand. 



D. G. Elliot, Elliot Coues, 



J. G. Cooper, Robert Ridgway. 



These authors all contributed diagnoses of new species to the 

 Proceedings, but only two of their types are contained in the 

 Academy's collection. 



Diomedia melanophrys Boie. 

 Diomedia (jilUana Couess. Proc. Acad. Nafc. Sci. Phila., 18G6, p. 181.

Though credited to " Leyd. Mns., T. B. Wilson," Ridgway 

 seems to have been the first to jiublish this name. 



P. L. SCLATER. 



Dr. Sclater described several new species in Jardine's Contribu- 

 tions to Ornithology, based on specimens loaned him by Edward 

 Wilson. The types, however, seem to have been afterwards 

 secured by Dr. Sclater, and presented to the British INIuseum, and 

 never reached the Academy collection. 



Such species are: 



SupJionia frontalis. 



CalUste lunigera. 



Callute xanthogastra. 



Some other specimens upon which he based dtscriptious were lost 

 in shipment to Philadelphia (see Contr. to Ornith., 1852, p. 59). 

 Besides the birds loaned to him by Edward Wilson, Sclater 

 described two new species during his visit to the Academy in 1856. 

 His types in the collection are as follows : 



Glaucidium gnoma californicum Scl. 



Olaucidium cnlifornic/ni Sc\. P. Z. S., 1857, p. 4. 

 2,559. 9 California. Dr. A. L. Heerinauu. 2'ypc.
