Recently published Ornithological Works. 709 



In the second number (June 1909) M. Gounelle describes 

 a new Humming-Bird from Colombia as Polyerata cyaneu- 

 tincta, allied to P. amahilis, and M. Menegaux gives us a 

 list (with remarks) of a collection of birds recently received 

 from Cuba. No species are new, but many of them are 

 rare {Geotrygon chrysia, Todus multicolor, &c.), and form 

 valuable additions to the French National Collection. 



In No. 3 (July 1909) Dr. Dubois discusses the relation- 

 ships of the three nearly allied Asiatic Thrushes : Turdus 

 fuscatus, T. naumanni, and T. ruficollis ; and M. Paris writes 

 notes on the birds of the Department of Cote-d^Or. 



No. 4 (August 1909) is headed by an article on a new 

 species of Tanager of the genus CalUste by Mr. C. E. 

 Hellmayr (now of Munich) : Mr. Hellmayr calls it Calospiza 

 palmeri, but we see no reason why the prior generic name 

 Calliste should be discarded. Five examples of this new and 

 remarkable Tanager were obtained by Mr. M. G. Palmer in 

 the district of Choco, Western Colombia. The same collector 

 obtained examples of Nemosia rosenbergi, CalUste Johanna, 

 C. emilicB, and other rarities. In this number M. Menegaux 

 records the occurrence of two examples of Dendrocycna 

 arcuata at Aigues-Mortes, on the southern coast of France. 

 This makes an addition to the Gallican Avifauna. Many 

 other notes and notices will be found in the new Journal, to 

 which we heartily wish success. 



101. Salvadori on a Species of Jay. 



[Nota intorno al Garrulus melanocephalus, Gene, T. Salvadori. Boll. 

 Mus. Torino, No. 607, vol. xxiv.] 



Count Salvadori has examined the typical specimens of 

 Gene's Garrulus melanocephalus in the Museum of Turin, 

 and has come to the conclusion that they are not identical 

 with the G. atricapillus of Geoffr. St.-Hilaire, as is usually 

 supposed. He points out the differences. The locality of 

 Gene's G. melanocephalus is Baalbek in Syria, not Mount 

 Libanus. The exact locality for G. atricapillus is not 

 known.
