of the growth of the Museum, commencing at 1811, when 

 Bonelli became the Director. He was succeeded by Giuseppe 

 Gene in 1832, who remained in charge until Salvadori him- 

 self succeeded him in the care of the collection of birds in 

 1864. Since tliat date the number of specimens has been 

 augmented not only by acquisitions from special expeditions, 

 but by gifts and judicious exchanges with other Museums, 

 and it is in this manner that the large numbers of types and 

 cotypes have been acquired. 



This memoir will be of great value to all who are occupied 

 in the monographs of special groups, and who wish to find 

 out where certain of the older types are preserved. 



Salvadori's recent minor Notices. 



[11 Podidpes infuscattis Salvad. T. Salvadori. Boll. Mus. Zool. Anat, 

 Torino, xxx. no. 694, 1915, pp. 1-3.] 



[Un' Aquila dell" Africa Settentrionale. Id. ibid. no. 700, 1915, 

 pp. 1-2.] 



[lutorno ad alcuni uccelli del Kasai. Breve nota di T, Salvador!. 

 Ann. Mus. Oiv. Stor. Nat. Geneva, xlvi. 1915, pp. 279-280.] 



In the first of these short notes Count Salvadori draws 

 attention to the fact that the Great Crested Grebe of the 

 Ethiopian region differs from that of Europe in certain well- 

 marked characters, and that it must be known in future as 

 Podidpes infuscatus Salvadori. This name was first given to 

 an example from southern Abyssinia by Salvadori himself 

 in 1884, though he did not at that time realize that this 

 distinct form extended to southern Africa. 



In the second note an Eagle obtained in Tripoli, now in 

 the Turin Museum, is identified with Aquila occidentalis 

 Olphe-Galliard. This is a form of the Golden Eagle found 

 in Spain and northern Africa. In the recently issued 

 number of Hartert's ' Palaearctic Birds,' which has not yet 

 reached us, this is shown to be identical with that described 

 by Brehm (in Hit.), and which was subsequently published 

 by Olphe-Galliard (Faune orn. Eur. occ, ii. fasc. 18, 1889, 

 p. 23: Spain).
