370 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



This would render the work much more generally useful, 

 especially as the present indexes are not always quite reliable- 

 A critical correspondent has favoured us with a list of 

 34 generic names which are used in one or more of the 

 27 volumes of the British Museum l Catalogue of Birds/ but 

 are not to be found in any of the Indexes of the ' Hand-list.' 

 As it may be useful to some workers we subjoin the list. 



List of Generic Names quoted in the 'Catalogue of Birds in the 

 British Museum,' hut not mentioned in the Indexes to the 

 ' Hand-list.' 



Aptornis, Arinia, Atrichia, Cassicus, Certhiola, Cerorhyncha, Ohauna, 

 Chirocylla, Chloris, Cichlopsis, Cymodroma, Dissura, Doleromyia, 

 Eucorystes, Klais, Lepidolarynx, Melanobucco, Microglossus, 

 Monacha, Myiodioctes, Nyroca, Ortyx, Oxyrhamphus, Palarnedea, 

 Perissoglossa, Phonipara, Picathartes, Pinarolsema, Procnopis, 

 Pteroclurus, Scotornis, Sphenoproctus, Stellula, Trichostoma. 



We may also remark that it would have been much better 

 to have put the Family Names in the running titles of the 

 volumes instead of the useless repetition of " Genera and 

 Species of Birds " throughout. 



45. Van Oort on the Gerygone and Eurylaemus of Java. 



[Note XIII. On Gerygone and Eurylaimus Species from Java and 

 Sumatra. By Dr. E. D. Van Oort. Notes Leyd. Mus. xxxi. p. 207.] 



The examination of recently received specimens from Java 

 has convinced Dr. Van Oort that the Gerygone and Eury- 

 Id'inus of that island shew slight differences from their 

 representatives in other parts of the Eastern Archipelago. 

 He therefore proposes to separate the Javan form of the 

 first species under the name Gerygone modigliani jacudsoni 

 and to restrict the name Eurylcemus javanicus to the Javan 

 form of the second species, calling the form from Sumatra, 

 Banka, Biliton, Borneo, and Malacca Eurylcemus javanicus 

 harterti.
