Museum. The Cannjopliagidse are divided into 10 genera 

 (108 sjiecies)^ the Muscicapidse into 6^ genera (391 species). 

 The new species described are Campophaga polioptera from 

 Cochin China, Rhipidura crythronota and R. rufo-lateralis 

 from the Fijis^ Myiagra goramensis from Goram, Piezorhyn- 

 chus morotensis from Morty Island^ and Siphia sumatrensis 

 from Sumatra. The new genera proposed arc Erythromyias 

 {Saxicola du7netoria,'Wd\\dLce) , PoUomyias {Motacilla luteola, 

 Pallas), Heteromyias [Pcecilodryas cinereifrons, Ramsay), 

 jEthomyias [Entomopliila spilodera, Gray), Neomyias {Rhijn- 

 dura euryura, Miiller), and Rhinomyias [Alcippe pectoralis, 

 Salvadori) . All the three British Flycatchers are placed under 

 Muscicapa. To find Pratincola and Malurus among the 

 Muscicapidse will be a surprise to many; but Mr. Sharpe 

 tells us that in this family " the characters of definition are 

 most obscure.'^ Fourteen plates, drawn by Keulemans, con-

[On the Collection of Birds made by Dr. Meyer during his expedition 

 to New Guinea and some neighbouring Islands. By E,. Bowdler Sharpe, 

 Mitth. d. kgl. zool. Mus. Dresden, 1878, Heft 3.] 



This memoir contains the results of the author's examina- 

 tion of the Accipitres, Dicruridse, and Campophagidse col- 

 lected by Dr. Meyer. The Accipitres were 39, belonging to 

 18 species. Harpyopsis novcB-yuinece and Astur etorques are 

 figured. The Dicruridse were 50, of 5 species. Of the Cam- 

 pophagidae a general review is given, and the following species 

 are described as new : — Artamides schistaceus, from the Sula 

 Islands; A. floris from Flores ; Graucalus subalaris from 

 S.E. New Guinea; EdoUisorna salvadorii from Great Sangi 

 Island ; E. aruense from the Aru Islands ; E. timoriense from 

 Timor ; E. remotum from New Hanover ; Campophaga poliO' 

 ptera from Cochin China, and Lalage luhitmeei from Savage 

 Island. Of these only the Graucalus and Edoliosoma salva- 

 dorii are from Dr. Meyer's collection ; so that the title of the 

 paper is, in this respect, somewhat misleading. Graucalus 

 maforensis is figured.
