* Dr. Eeicbenow resuscitates Hodgson's name of passerinus for this species. 

 The title is founded on a bird in winter plumage, and atrigida on an adult bird. 

 Dr. Reiebenow would have us reject the latter name on account of the name of 

 airiyularis, of Voigt ; but this is an African species, the name is only a synonym, 

 and there is not the slightest risk cif confusion in adopting the name of atrignla.
