 Like G. mylecta neylecta, without yellowish patches on the greater wing-

 is broader and the blackish anteapical patches appear to be generally less 

 distinct. Same size as that of G. n. neylecta.

• I am quite willing to admit tlmt the binls I called ('ry/itoh'jiha wtti;,iue,isu are not only the 

 same as Geryyme mgUcta, but are really better placed in the genus Gerygone. Nevertheless 

 th<- two genera are clo.sely allied, and should stand close together. The only diflercnces between the 

 two genera that I can amweciate are the shape of the tail, which is more or less rounded in Qerygoue 

 with blaekish anteai.ical patches, more or less scjuare or emarginate iu most Cryjitoluplia (except in 

 mpereiVwris and .elueaneri. which differ also in other ways). Then the bill is comparatively shorter 

 in Ci-yptolunha, and there are very often striiciug median stripes on the crown. In any case the 

 bir<l« calhMl O'eriigme jwUocephala , (I. mu/oren.h and O. ghdianettii are .loublless Crgptvlopliae. 

 The latter is in' fact, elo.-iely allied to C. kin.i!Ml„ri,sis and trirh-gata, of which it may be a 

 subspecies. It is therefore clear that my ren.arks iJMl. U. 0. 0. xiii. p. 7(1) about the occurrence 

 of the genus OrgpMopha. in the Papuan region a.K perfectly correct, although 1 wrongly described 

 Ihi: bird from Waigiu as a Oryptolopha. The whitish inner edges on the outer retriees of g,„lmmtta 

 are also charaeteri.-tic for Cnjptolnpliii. ■ IS. lUUTKBT.
