"Mr. Sclater (Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, XLII, p. 44) says no type was designated by Ogilvie-Grant, and 

 that he proposes "to designate as the type of the genus Ortholophus cassini Finsch, which appears in the 

 Catalogue under the name O. albocristatus, but which is not the bird described under that name by 

 Oassin." Regardless of the shifting of specific names in the two species enumerated by Ogilvie-Qrant, 

 it may be said that the type of the genus Ortholophus 'was designated by Sharpe in 1893 (Zool. Record, 

 Aves., XXIX, 1893 p. 42) as "albocristatus" of the Cat. Birds B. M., XVII, p. 425, and the same species 

 was indicated by me as the type in 1902 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXIV, p. 701). This species is the one 

 Mr. Sclater designates under the name of cassini. 



3" No species is mentioned by Lambrecht (Fossilium Catalogus, I, Pars 12, Aves, 1921, p. 23), from whose 

 work the reference was taken.
