Hah. lu insulis Philippinis ^'Basilan'^ et "Mindanao" 

 dictis. Typus in mus. R. G. Wardlaw Ramsay. 



The remaining bird I propose to call 



Iyngipicus pumilus, sp. n. 

 /. similis 7. canicapillo, sed valde minor et rectrieibus 4 cen- 

 tralibus nigris concoloribus distinguendus : long, tota 

 4*85, culm. 0-52, alee 278, caudse 1'3, tarsi 0-55. 



Hab. in terra Tenasserimensi meridionali. Typus in mus. 

 nostr. {coll. E. W.Oates). 



I am indebted to Mr. Eugene Gates for having drawn my 

 attention to this bird, and also for having given me the speci- 

 mens which have served as types. It is from Southern 

 Tenasserim, and probably the same as the small race of 

 I. canicapillus mentioned by Capt. Feilden (Hume in ' Stray 

 Feathers/ 1875, p. 59) as inhabiting the dense jungles around 

 Thayetmyo.

Mr. E. W. White, F.Z.S., o£ 27 Calle Corrientes, Buenos 

 Ayres, has lately sent to me for determination a small series 

 of bird-skins collected by himself in the Argentine Republic, 

 partly in the neighbourhood of Buenos Ayres, and partly 

 during his recent expedition to Oran and the upper pro- 

 vinces of the Republic. Mr. White has also placed in 

 the hands of Mr. E. Gerrard, Jun., for sale, some of his 

 duplicate specimens, from which I have been able to obtain 

 several desirable acquisitions for my collection. Amongst 

 the Argentine birds which I have thus had an opportunity 

 of examining, are examples of two apparently new species, 

 which I propose to characterize as follows : — 



1. PoosPiZA ERYTHROPHRYs, sp. nov. (Plate XVII. fig. 1.) 



Supra fusca ochraceo tincta ; pileo et regione auriculari 



utrinquecinereis; superciliis lougis, castaneis ; alisnigri-
