PI. 133. Otis afra, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 51 (1844 : Cape 

 of Good Hope). 

 Ls Compsotis afra (Forst.) [<J]; Sliarpe, Cat. B., xxiii., 

 p. 293. 

 Latham's White-eared Bustard (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, p. 802, 

 pi. Ixix.) is founded on "a pair in the possession of Sir Joseph 

 Banks " (unde Otis afra, Gm. Syst. Nat., i., p. 724). 



PI. 134. The two figures on this plate are apparently the 



female and young male of Compsotis afra. 

 PI. 135. Tetrao capensis, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 400 (1844; 

 South Africa). 

 = FrancoKnus capensis (Gm.) {cf Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B., 

 xxii., p. 165). 

 The type of Latham's " Cape Partridge" (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, 

 p. 756) was in the British Museum. 



PI. 136. Golumha leucophrys, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 168 

 (1844: Otaheitee). 

 = Phlogoenas erythroptera (Gm.) ; cf. Salvad., Cat. B., 

 xxi., p. 600 [vide postea, p. 205, for Latham's Garnet- 

 winged Pigeon, described from a specimen in the 

 Leverian Museum]. 

 " Tahiti." 

 PI. 137. Golumha argetrsea, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 80 

 (1844: New Zealand). 

 = Hemipliaga novae zealandiae (Gm.) {cf Salvad., 



Cat. B., xxi., p. 236). 

 " Dusky Bay, N.Z., April 3, 1773. Harreroo." 

 This seems to be the type of Latham's " New Zealand 

 Pigeon" (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, p. 640), as he gives Forster's 

 note, but does not mention the Banksian specimens or drawings. 

 PI. 138. Columba xanthura, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 264 



(1844 : Tanna). 

 Latham describes this species as among Sir Joseph Banks' 

 drawings, but he refers to it as a variety of his " Hooked-billed 

 Pigeon," with which it has nothing to do. He names it Columha 

 tannensis in his " Index Ornithologicus," vol. ii., p. 600, =Ptilopus 

 tannensis (Lath.) {cf Salvad., Cat. B., xxi., p. 127). 



PI. 139. Columba globicera, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 166 



(1844 : Tonga-Tabu et Eavowe : Otaheitee). 

 I am inclined to think that this figure represents Columba 

 paclfica, Gm. {Globicera pacifica, Salvad., Cat. B., xxi., p. 173), 

 though Count Salvadori seems to entertain some doubt about it.
