63. Shmj^e on Strix oustalcti. 



[A Note on Strir oustalcti, llartlaub. By R. Bowdler Sharpe. P. Z. S. 

 1882, p. 335.] 



Mr. Sharpe shows that the so-called Stri.v oustaJeti from 

 Viti Levu is based upon a local form of the widely spread 

 Grass-Owl {Strix Candida) . 



64. Sharpe on the correct Name of the Shdmd. 



[On the correct Generic and Specific Name of the Indian Sliama. By 

 E. Bowdler Sharpe. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., July 1882.] 



IMr. Sharpe gives good reasons for his conclusion that the 

 best name for the Indian Shiima is Cittocincla tricolor (Vieill.) . 

 But, to be quite correct, the generic name should be written 

 ^'Cittocichla," "cichla'''' (not "cincla"'^) being the proper 

 Latinized form of Ki')(\rj. 



65. Stejneger on the Birds of Westland. 



[Andet Bidrag til Vestlandets ornitliologiske Fainia. Af Leonard 

 Stejneger. Nyt Magazin for Naturv. Cliristiania, 1882.] 



IVir. Stejneger's second contribution to the ornithological 

 fauna of Westland (a copy of which has only lately reached 

 us^ though it ajipears to have been published in 1882) con- 

 tains notes on examples of Motacilla melanope, Pyrrhula 

 europtea, Cygmts bewickii, and " Urinator" (i.e. Colymbus) 

 adamsi, which have lately occurred in that part of Norway, 

 and on the synonymy of the species. Mr. Stejneger vindi- 

 cates the claim of the last-named species to be recognized as 

 distinct from Urinator immer\ (i.e. Colymbus g la cialis) .
