400 Genera of Hn^nming Birds. 



Types in my Collection, to be forwarded shortly to the Paris 

 Museum, with all my other types of birds, and where they 

 can be seen by applying to Mr. Oustalet, Assistant Curator 

 of the Ornithological Department.

It it possible that although there are great differences of 

 colouration between my unique specimen of H. lactea and 

 these, that it may turn out to be only the same species.
