 102000. Subadult (sex not indicated). "Havannah Harbour, Vate." En- 

 tered into the museum register on January 30, 1885, but possibly 

 collected much earlier. Received from Henry Seebohm. 

 The oldest label is Tristram's, with his name scratched out, but while the 

 bird may have passed through his hands, it was probably never part of his 

 collection. Mayr {op. cit.) has shown that the locality on the label is errone- 

 ous, and this is confirmed by the statement in an unidentified hand on the 

 back of the label that it is "//. sordida Gould fide Ramsay."
