When I was writing the fourth vohime of the " Catalogue," I again 

 went over to Leyden, and effected a similar exchange with Professor 

 Schlegel, obtaining for our Museum many species of Flycatchers whicli 

 we did not before possess — Popxilndryas hracliyurus, Oerygone melano- 

 thorax, G. notata, G. magnirostris, O. flaveola, Pristorhamphus versteri, 

 Cryptolopha grammiceps, Todopsis honapartei, T. coronata, Monarcha 

 kordensis, Piezorhynclius diadematus, Anthipes solitaria, Erythromyias 

 muUeri, Pachycephala ohiensis, Rhipidura obiensis. 



In 1883 Professor Schlegel also gave me the following desiderata 

 for the succeeding volumes of the " Catalogue " : Hirundo striolata, 

 Dicaium maforense, D. keiense, Napothera pyrrhoptera, Zosterops rufifrons, 

 Z. ttropygiaJis, Stachyridopsis melanothorax, and Turdinus lepidopleurus. 

 Some of these species are not included in the tenth volume, which 

 appeared in July 1883, as I had net been able to visit Leyden for the 

 pur^wse of checking my MSS. In October of that year, however, I was 

 able to get away, and found that there were many omissions in the 

 volume, which I rectified in a paper on Timeliidas, published in the 

 " Notes from the Leyden Museum " (vol. vi., pp. 167-178). 



The last donations, in 1888, consisted of five specimens, of which 

 Pericrocotus lansbergi, Laniprolia minor, Chloropsis venusta, and Acci- 

 piter luttikoferi were new to the collection ; and a specimen of Ortholo- 

 phus alhocristatus from Liberia, whicli has since become the type of my 

 Ortholophus finsclii (" Ibis," 1904, p. 610).

3 specimens of the Spanish Green Woodpecker (Gecimts sharpei), from 

 S. Spain. Presented. [72. 7. 9, 1-3.] 



This species was named by Mr. Howard Saunders (P.Z.S,, 1872, 

 p. 153). In 1894 the late Prof. V. L. Seoane re-described this Wood- 

 pecker as Gecinus viridis galiciensis, in a pamphlet to which he attached 

 the date of 1870. This was the most bare-faced attempt to secure the 

 priority of a name given twenty-two years too late, which has ever come 

 under the notice of the writer (c/. Zool. Kec, 1894, Aves, p. 38). 



31 specimens of Herons, Spoonbills, etc., collected by Ruiz near 

 Seville. Presented. [74. 11. 18, 3-33.] 



A specimen of Sylvia melanothorax, Tristr., from Cyprus, new to the 

 collection. Presented. [75. 7. 6, 1.] 



Parent birds with nest and eggs of the Flamingo {Phsenicopterus 

 roseus) from Soutliern Spain. Presented. [80. 6. 8, 1-6.] These are the 

 specimens mounted in the public gallery, and form group No. 159. 



234 specimens from Cvprus and the countries of the Mediterranean. 

 Presented. [88. 7. 26, 1-205 ; 88. 8. 16, 1-18 ; 88. 8. 26, 1-11.] 



This collection of birds was formed by Lord Lilford himself, by 

 Mr. W. Pearce, and more particularly by Dr. Guillemard, who has 

 written an excellent essay on the birds of the island (Ibis, 1888, 

 pp. 94-124, pi. ii.; 1889, pp. 206-219), and Lord Lilford has also 

 published an interesting memoir on the ornithology of Cyprus (Ibis, 

 1889, pp. 305-350). 



17 Starlings {Sturnus vulgaris) from Lilford. Presented. [88. 9.
