bird in Mr. Jackson's collection as Sylvia lugens of Hiippell, a species 

 omitted by Mr. Seebohm from the fifth volume of the 'Catalogue of 

 Birds.' I have compared this specimen with the type of Sylvia lugens, 

 Riipp., and find that Mr. Hartert's surmise was correct; but in my opinion 

 the bird is a Parisoma, and should stand as Parisoma lugens (Riipp.).
