 In my ' Catalogue ' I have kept S. lineata and S. mysia di- 

 stinct, but, upon reexamination, find the individuals which I 

 referred to those two supposed species inseparable; and I be- 

 lieve the two terms to be synonymous. Spix^s figure of Fyrrhula 

 leucopterygia evidently represents the same species. 



I have followed other authors in referring Azara^s Fico grueso 

 negro y bianco (unde Fyrrh. leucoptera, Vieill.) to this species ; 

 but I have not yet met with specimens of it from anywhere near 

 Azara's locality, and am rather uncertain whether his description 

 may not refer to some other bird.
