 Certhia melanops, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxxvi. 

 Glycipliila fulvifrons (Lewin), Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 210. 

 This is the type of Certhia melanops of Latham, founded on 

 the "Black-eyed Creeper," of which Dr. Gadow doubted the 

 identity. There need be no further question, however, on this 

 point, and the species must be called Glyciphila melanops (Lath.).

 catcher."
