and I do not find it at all unlikely that both may be found 

 in the same Province of Tucuman. 



Just now, I have described in ' Boletin Sociedad Physis ' 

 an apparently new race, very similar to N. schulzi, with 

 which it agrees in all characters, but is considerably larger. 

 This new race of N. schulzi has been recently obtained by 

 Mr. Mogensen in Eesistencia (Chaco Austral) on the right 

 bank of the Parana River. I think that the occurrence of 

 a race of this species so far towards the east is very inter- 

 esting, while N. schulzi was known to inhabit only the 

 centre and north-west of Argentine (Cordoba and Tucuman) . 

 I am, Sir, 



Yours, &c.,

[We regret that we suggested in error that Sefior Dabbene 

 had not examined examples of Cabanis' species, but must 

 still adhere to our opinion that it is unlikely two such closely 

 allied species as N. schulzi and A^". shiptoni should occur in 

 the same locality.] 



Sir, — Let me point out that in reviewing in 'The Ibis,' 

 January 1916, pp. 180-181, our 'Ornithological Review' 

 of 1914, you ascribe papers on Caccabis chukar, Cyanistes 

 cyanus yenisseensis, Parus bokharensis, and Cuculus canorus 

 subtelephonus to Prof. P. P. Sushkin, whereas they were 

 written by Mr. N. A. Zarudny. 



Yours most truly, 

 Weseuberg, Esthonia, Russia. S. A. BuTURLlN.
