" The Beveral names quoted from this volume are extracted from a paper entitled: 

 " Briefe von Heinrich Boie geschrieben ausOstindien undauf der Reise dahin," occu- 

 pying pages L26 218; 140-500; in all. 16 letters, with a prefatory note by I-'. Boie. 

 The paper exists also as a repaged brochure, and citations from ii in ornithological 

 literature invariably bear the title "Briefe geschr. aus Ostindien," which, with the 

 altered pagination, effectually disguises it. 



It may be interesting to observe here thai Picus porphyromelas, the one species 

 always quoted from this paper, is a purr nomen nudum, and will have to be sel 

 aside for Picua melanogaster ll.w, 1845. (See also note under Z)< ndrocht lidan. I
