The second paper adds a new bird to the avifauna of the 

 Netherlands. An example of the Greater Shearwater was 

 found dead on the beach at Noordwijk in November last 

 and sent to the Ley den Museum. This species, though not 

 infrequently occurring on our coasts, has never before been 

 obtained on Dutch shores. 



In the third paper a new subspecies {Falcinellus meyeri 

 albicans) is described. It was obtained by the third expe- 

 dition to Mt. Wilhelmina in the Snow Mountains of New 

 Guinea, in 1913, and differs slightly (in having white flanks) 

 from the typical form described by Fiusch from south-east 

 New Guinea,

Stenopsis Cassin 1851 (Caprimulgidse) is preoccupied by 

 Stenopsis Rafinesque 1815 (Coleoptera), and is renamed 

 Thermochalcis. Oreonit/ias Berlepsch 1907 (Tyrannidae) is 

 preoccupied by Oreomyias Keichenow 190.2 (Muscicapidse), 

 and is renamed Oreotriccus. Oreospiza Ridgway 1896 

 (Fringillidse) is preoccupied by Oreospiza Keitel 1857 

 (Fringillidse), and is renamed Oberlwlseria. Lamprotes 

 Swainsou 1837 (Tangaridse) is preoccupied by Lamprotes 

 '' R. L." 1817 (Lepidoptera), and is renamed Compso- 

 thraupis. Odontorhynchus Pelzeln 1868 (Troglodytidse) i« 

 preoccupied by Odontorynchus Leach 1830 (Crustacea), and 

 is renamed Odontochilus. 



In the second paper it is pointed out that the genus 

 Bolborhynchus Bonaparte, generally considered a nomen 

 nudum, is not so, as it was farther characterized in a reprint 

 of the original paper published in ' Comptes Rendus,' xliv. 

 1857, as was often the habit of Bonaparte. Several changes 

 are consequently necessary, and a new genus, Amoro- 

 psittaca, is proposed for the Parrot, Arara aymara, of 

 d'Orbigny.
