93. Finsch on the Psophiae in the Leyden Museum. 



[On Psophia viridis and Ps. obseura. By Ur. O. Finsch. Notes Leyden 

 Mus. XX. p. 81.] 



Dr. Finsch states that the Trumpeters in the Leyden 

 Museum formerly labelled Psophia viridis are really P. ob- 

 seura (see above, p. 523), and that this has misled Dr. Sharpe 

 into uniting these two different species. A list is added of 

 all the specimens of the genus at Leyden. 



94. Finsch on Muscicapula westermaimi Sharpe. 



[On the Identity of Muscicapula wester numni Sliarpe and M. melano- 

 leiica Hodgs. By 0. F'insch. Notes Leyden Mus. xx. p. 93.] 



Dr. Finsch shows that Muscicapula westermanni Sharpe, 

 from Perak (Wray), is a female of M. maculata of the B. IVi. 

 Catalogue, and that the best name to adopt for this widely- 

 spread species is M. melanoleuca of Hodgson. The Leyden 

 JVIuseum contains a good set of 14 examples of this bird 

 from various localities — N. India, Java, Timor, Celebes, and 

 Luzon. Muscicapula melanoleuca appears to be a mountain- 

 bird, breeding at high altitudes.

 Jahresb. St. Gall, naturw. Gesellsch. 1896-97.] 



This is a general narrative of the expedition to Southern 

 Guiana made by Dr. Goeldi and his companions in 1895, of 

 which, as regards the birds observed and collected. Dr. Goeldi 

 has already written an account in 'The Ibis^ (1897, p. 149). 

 A photographic portrait is given of Dr. Goeldi's conservator, 

 ]Vrax Tanner, whose sad death from fever, contracted at 

 Amapa during this expedition, has already been mentioned.
