\Ve have also, through the courtesy of Dr. von Madan'isz, been able to examine 

 the two types of P. d/ssimiiis, both from Erima. They are perfectly similar and in 

 no way distinguishable from fappcuhechi. The existence of tlie latter name has 

 probably escaped Dr. v. Madarasz, because its author placed it with CoUaricincla , 

 which is quite a distinct genns. P. m. tnppenhccki is so closely allied to typical 

 moqarhiinclm, that it is quite possible that a series may show that it is not 

 separable, but we think its paler abdomen and maybe generally lighter throat may 

 justify its separation. The throat feathers are not " am Ende weiss," as described 

 by Keicheiiow, but white, crossed by a faint white bar. Professor Reichenow, in his 

 original description, compared his bird with r)ifo(/asfrr, but it is very much uearer 

 to )ne<jm-hij}ich(i. Dr. von Madarasz compared it with mcunrln/iiclia, but he probably 

 used tor comparison only or princi]ially the darker form which we call mail(iras.::i. 



2S. Pinarolestes megarhyncha madaraszi subsp. nov. 



Differs from typical innjarlii/Krlid m its deeper cinnamon underside and 

 blackish bill.

 Hungarian Museum, Budapest.) 



The deeper under surface of these birds — we have only seen the two, a mah' and 

 SI fct/Kile, collected by Biro on the Sattelberg — makes them consj)icaous in a series of 

 ■wi'i/nr/"//ic//fi, and the two specimens are perfectly similar to each other. The bills 

 apjiear blackish with whitish ciitting-edges, while in all our thirty-four specimens of 

 typical mi'i/iu/ii/nc/ia not one has a blackisli bill, they being all more or less pale 

 brownish. Named in honour of Dr. Julius von Madarasz.

Ditfers at a glance from J', meg. iii(';/<irh(/Hcha by its much paler, less rufous 

 underside and lighter throat. The throat-feathers have narrow darker shaft-lines and 

 whitish, often very faint cross-bars in the middle, the feathers of the breast have
