Jules and Edward Vebreaux. 



Edward Wilsou olitained a number of specimens from Verreaux: 

 brothers, the famous Freuch bird dealers, and quite a number of 

 these were types of Verreaux' s species. 



The Verreauxs had the unfortunate practice of sending out speci- 

 mens with manuscript names Avhich were often never published. 

 Many specimens loaned to Strickland by Mr. Wilson Avere of this 

 character, and, when describing any of them as new .species, to 

 avoid confusion he nearly always adopted Verreaux 's manuscript 

 names. In the case of a small collection from the interior of Ga- 

 boon, however, the Verreauxs, unknown lo Strickland, published 

 all the new species in the Revue et Magasin de Zoologie, while the 

 latter published them almost simultaneously in the Contributions 

 to Ornithology, fortunately usiog the supposed manuscript names 

 which he found on the labels. The.se doubly type(!) specimens 

 are as follows :

A specimen of this bird received by the British Museum fiom 

 Verreaux is catalogued as " probably the type." This is an error, 

 as the Academy specimen is marked ' ' type ' ' by Verreaux.
