I may further remark that the MS. containing the descrip- 

 tion of Chlorochrysa hedwigos was sent to the Editors of ' The 

 lhis ' in June 1901, but unfortunately too late for publication 

 in the July ' Ibis.' I also alluded to this new species, and 

 explained its characters at the meeting of the Third Section 

 of the Fifth International Zoological Congress at Berlin on 

 August 14th, 1901 * 



Regarding the other new species described in Mr. Chap- 

 man's article as above, I wish to inform you (1) that 

 Malucothraupis castaneiceps Chapm. is evidently the same as 

 Malacothraupis gustavi Berl. Journ. f. Orn. 1901 (January 

 number), p. 85 (from Bolivia), and (2) that Terenura xantho- 

 nota Chapm. is no doubt identical with Terenura sharpii 

 Berl. Journ. f. Orn. 1901 (January number), p. 97 (from 

 Bolivia). 



In both cases my names have the priority over those of 

 Mr. Chapman. Yours &c, 



Schlosa Berlepsch, Count Berlepsch.

Sirs, — On the morning of the 17th inst. a gamekeeper 

 shot a Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falc inellus) near hero, and 

 Mr. J. Cullingford, of Durham, to whom I sent it to be set 

 up, reports it to be a male. The bird had been about for a 

 few days, feeding on the low banks of a pool and in a marshy 

 piece of land adjoining the water. I did not observe any red 

 tinge on the head or neck, both of which were evenly and 

 liberally streaked with grey ; but the under parts were 

 suffused with a very decided warm red tint, and the back, 

 wings, and tail were glossed over Avith brilliant metallic 

 green and purple. Length 22^ inches, wing 11 inches. 



Yours &c, 



High Ackworth, Fontefract, Walter B. Arundel.
