Bocage received specimens from Francisco Newton^ which 

 he had procured on the islets of Sette-Pedras, where they 

 apparently breed.

Tliis bird is mentioned by Finsch and Hartlaub as having 

 been obtained on St. Thomas by Weiss, also by Sousa (Journ, 

 Sci. Lisboa, ]888, p. 153 ; 1891, p. 87). All these references 

 appear to refer to the same specimen, which is said to be 

 in the museum at Bremen The specimen should be re- 

 examined, as Count Salvador! believes that it may prove to 

 be P. minor, of wliich species Fea obtained a specimen on 

 Prince's Island. 



41. Lampribis olivacea. 



Lampribis olivacea (Du Bus) ; Salvador!, Orn. Golfo d.

Comatibis olivacea Bocage, Jorn. Sci. Lisboa, 1905, p. 86. 



According to Bocage, Newton obtained this Ibis on 

 several occasions in St. Thomas. 



As considerable confusion existed with regard to the 

 status of Lampribis olivacea (Du Bus), I have been at con- 

 siderable pains to clear up the matter. A full discusssion 

 will be found in my paper " On the Birds of Prince's 

 Island," which appeared in the last number of 'The Ibis,'
