74. Reinhardt on a new Mitua. 



[En uy Mitua-Asi. Af J. Reinliardt. Vid. Medd. Naturli. Forening i 

 Kjobenhavn, 1879-80.] 



The new species, which is proposed to be called Mitua 

 salvini, is based upon a female specimen lately living in the 

 Zoological Gardens in Copenhagen, but now preserved in the 

 University Museum. It differs from both the known species 

 of Mitua in having the belly white. The bird was received 

 from Baliia in 1876; but its exact locality is unascertained.

75. Reinhardt on a Bird new to Greenland. 



[En for Gronland ny Fugl. Af J. Reinliardt. Vid. Medd. Naturh. 

 Forening i Kjobenhavn, 1879-80.] 



Prof. Reinhardt records the occurrence of the Common 

 Scoter [Oidemia fusca) in Greenland, on the faith of an ex- 

 ample obtained near Godthaab, and now in the Copenhagen 

 Museum. By far the greater number of stragglers in Green- 

 land being American species, 0. velvetina might have been 

 rather expected to have occurred there ; but this example is 

 decidedly 0. fusca.

In his fourth volume, Mr. Sharpe commences the second 

 group of his Passeriformes — the Cichlomorphse of Sundevall, 

 which he proposes to divide into six families, namely Campo- 

 phagidse, Muscicapidse, Turdidse, Timcliidae, Laniidae, and 

 Paridge. Of these the first two are catalogued in the present 

 volume. The total num])er of species recognized is 539, of 

 which 443 are represented in the collection of the British
