* I have followed Mr. Ridgway entirely as to the number of forms to be admitted into 

 this genus, not having suflacient material in the British Musenm to warrant any criticism i 

 of his views, and his observations (pp. 350-352) deserve the greatest consideration 

 from ornithologists, the facts wliicli he brings forward as to the different races of 

 Melo.ipiza being quite startling and of remarkable interest. He allows 20 subspecies | 

 of M. cincrea. i
