In addition to the foregoing remarks, Dr. Finsch sent me a 

 sketch of the bill of the type-specimen of 0. crassirostris, thus 

 enabling me to give a representation of it along with that of 

 O. larvatus. 



I may add that Mi:. Keulemans tells me that he shot a spe- 

 cimen of this fine Oriole in St. Thomas's Island.
