PARUS ULTRAMARINUS, Bonaparte. 



\_S 1021. One.—Y\Q>\\\ M. Favier, through Mr. H. S. Hawkins, 

 1866. 



The ticket, in M. Favier's well-known handwriting, bears a specific name 

 unpublished so far as I know, and I was not certain of its identity until I found 

 it in his manuscript volume, already referred to, in 1845, by Mr. Wolley 

 (iupra, pp. 2, 3), which, having come into Colonel Irby's possession, was by 

 him kindly given to the Museum of the University of Cambridge. Herein 

 appended to the description (p. 81) of the bird is a note clearly shewing it to 

 be Parus ultramariuvsPi
