 They are : — (1) Haliaetus hypoleucus, "perhaps an eastern 

 representative of H. albicilla," with the '' entire underparts 

 white ;" (2) Acrocephalus dybowskii ; (3) Anorthura palles- 

 cens ; (4) Hirundo saturata, allied to H. erythrogastra ; (5) 

 Anthus stejnegeri, proposed as an alternative new name if 

 the species be not identical with A. japonicus of the ' Fauna 

 Japonica/ of which no copy is accessible to the describer ! 



14. Ridgway on Motacilla ocularis.

 Ridgway. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1883, p. 144.]

Mr. Ridgway was at first inclined to refer a single speci- 

 men of an Anthus obtained by Mr. Belding in Lower 

 California in the winter of 1882-83 to a new species. 

 Having found three specimens of the same species in a 

 collection from the coast of China, he was led to make
