1 Mr. O. Neumann informed me recently that A. buergersi was in his opinion the 
same as A. eudiabolus Rothsch. & Hart., and that a second specimen of A. buergersi 
received was in his opinion adult (although the first was not) and was “‘ nearly black 
all over, with a few white marks on wing and tail.’’ Dr. Hartert has since written 
me that biivgersi was the juvenile and eudiabolus the adult, but he concurs in the 
identity of the two birds, so eudiabolus becomes a synonym. Astuy planes of 
Reichenow (J.£.0. 1910, p. 412, New Pommern) I have still been unable to place or 
identify, nor is Mr. Neumann certain of it.
