312 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant : Notes in 



Dasyptilus pesqueti has been accepted by G. R. Gray 

 (a most careful bibliographer)^ by Count Salvador!, and by 

 the great majority o£ authors. 



The name pecqueti is a mispi'int for pesqueti, and was 

 subsequntly altered by Lesson, 111. de Zool. pi. i. (1832). 

 He there explains that he received the bird from M. Pesquet. 



p. 246. Eclectus. 



Vide supra. Note on Lorius. 



p. 249. Ptistes. 



In using this generic name I have accepted Count Salva- 

 dori's view. Gould (P. Z. S. 1842, p. 112), tlie author of 

 Aprosmictus, included as the types two species, A. scapulatus 

 ( = cyanopijffius) nud A. eri/t/iropterus. Subsequently (liand- 

 book B. Austr. ii. p. 37, 1865) he placed the latter species in 

 a new genus — Ptistes. G. R. Gray (Cat. Gen. Birds, 1855, 

 p. 86) gives no reason for adopting A. erijthropterus as the 

 typical species of Aprosmictus, and I therefore uphold the 

 original describer^s subsequent choice of a type. 



p. 267. Haliastur Indus girrenera. 



No remark seems necessary. I do not quote " primary 

 references " when 1 consider them superfluous. 



p. 268. Baza subcristata. 



This, again, seems to be merely a question of splitting-up 

 the species generally included in Baza into other genera. 

 No data for such changes are supplied, nor have they been 

 published. 



p. 275. Ibis molncca. 



There are the strongest objections to the transfer of the 

 well-known name Ibis, and the consequent confusion. 



p. 276. Notophoyx picata. 



I had overlooked the fact that Sharpe had renamed this 

 species A'. JJavi?'Ostris, Cat, Birds B. M. xxvi. addenda, p. 654 



(1898).
