these localities are quite distinct and must retain the names given 

 to them by Gray and Gould. 



M. leueotis, Gould, is also placed in the Genus Piezorhynchm. 



Under Mbnarcha, the Australian species described are Mbnarcha 

 melanopsis, the Mmcicapa melanopsts of Vieillot, — the M. carinata 

 of Yig. andHorsf., and of Gould's Birds of Aust., Vol. II., pi. 9-5. 



Unfortunately an error occurs here, the young bird of 31. 

 mdanopsis being - described as a female — in the adults both sexes are 

 alike in plumage. 



Mbnarcha canescens, Salvadori, a new species, said by D'Albertis, 

 to come from Cape York, most probably a New Guinea bird, in 

 coloration it is closely allied to the preceding. 



It will be seen I have only referred to the Australian species in 

 Mr. Sharpe's Catalogue, as being of most interest to ornithologists 

 here ; and taking into consideration the poor material he has had 

 to work from, the greatest praise is due to Mr. Sharpe's ability 

 and untiring energy. I am sure all ornithologists will congratulate 

 Mr. Sharpe on the appearance of the fourth Volume of his work 

 " Catalogue of Birds " and trust the learned author may have 

 long life and health to complete so great an undertaking.
