 tinct greyish spots; inner webs spotted or partially barred with

* Dr. Meuzbier has not, in my opinion, satisfactorily shown that his G. flavi- 

 rostris is tlie same as my G. gorii, and I cannot separate his species from G. squa- 

 matus. The specifio name of ::arudnoi was subsequently given by Dr. Menzbier 

 to the same bird, on account of his previous name having been (as he imagined) 

 preoccupied ; but the species to which the name oi Picus flavirostris was given 

 by the Abbe David is not a Gecinus, but is Hypopicus hypcrythrus.
