Mr. Forbes has come to the conclusion that his genus Diaphor- 

 apteryx cannot be separated from Aphanapteryx. The bones in 

 the collection (p. 'oS) are the typical specimens.

Mr. Ridgway says that the Aldabra birds described by him were 

 *' similar to ' li. gularis' of Assumption, but without trace of dusky 

 streaks on the dorsal region, and with the white bars on the belly 

 and flanks much less distinct (sometimes almost wanting).'* He 

 received eight specimens from Dr. Abbott. The breadth of the 

 dorsal stripes and the barring on the abdomen are characters which 

 vary so much in the Madagascar species, D. cuvieri, that I con- 

 sidered {^anteu, p. 71) D. aldabranus to be only a subspecies. One 

 of the specimens from Aldabra has the dorsal striping nearly as 

 pronounced as in D. cuvieri from Madagascar. Mr. Ridgway was 

 apparently unaware of Dr. Giinther's name for the Aldabra bird, 

 but he has luckily chosen exactly the same name for his supposed 

 new species.
