* Sharpe, Cat. Bds. Brit. Mus., vol. i, p. 421 (1S74). Mr. Sharpe remarks: "That the 

 possession by the British Museum of tlie original types of Hieracidea beriyora, which were 

 received from the Linnean Society, enables him to prove that the //. occidcntalis of Gould 

 is the true U. herigora."
