This specimen is marked as type of C. selhyi. There is also a 

 specimen in the British Museum, but it is not marked type ( Cat. of 

 Bds., xii, p. 360).

I find no mention of this name of Smith's, but not having access 

 to the Rep. S. Afr, Exp., cannot ascertain whether it is published 

 or not. If it is, it will, of course, antedate brunneiceps of Sharpe. 



Penthetriopsis macroura (Gm.).

14,238. ^ Cape of Good Hope. " Type de Smith." 



14.292. 9 Cape of Good Hope.

This is another name which has apparently not been published, 

 but I am unable to satisfy myself upon this point.
