132, 133. A large series of these birds seems to prove that they are one 

 and the same species. P. pallida may he a bleached specimen of P. 

 FALCATA, not Well dcscribcd by Gould. 



135, 136. P. GiLBERTi is a good species, but P. rufogularis, is very 

 doubtful. Specimens in the British Museum do not appear to belong 

 to either species, although supposed to be P. rufogularis, Gould. 



139. P. ROBUSTA, Masters, a doubtful species, being founded on a single 

 specimen only, a female ; must be compared with female of P. 

 MELANURA, which varies much in size. 



143. C. suPERCiLiosA, Masters, may be a very old bird of C. brunnea, 

 Gould, and probably the same as Sharpe's C. pallidirostris, Sharpe, 

 Brit. Mus. Cat. Vol. III., p. 293. It has a distinct broad white stripe 

 over the eye and extending beyond it, and is a fully adult bird ; the 

 young of C. brunnea, have a 6m/ line over the eye.

147. C. parvissima is a smaller race of C. rufigaster.

I cannot agree with Mr. Sharpe in including Colltriocincla rufigaster 

 C. PARVULUS, and C. macrorhtnchus, in his genus Pjnaroleste.s, as 

 he founds this new genus on Mtiolestes vitiensis, Auct. ; a bird 

 differing greatly even in habits and nidification from the true 

 Colltriocincla, to which the above named species belong. 



153. Like the Atrichia clamosa, Gould, and A. rufescens, Ramsay, &c., 

 this species is remarkable for its powers of ventriloquism.
