574 Mr. C. Ciiubb on Birds from [ihis, 



compared the two specimens collected by Simons. They 

 do not agree, however^ either in colour or measurements, 

 and, after having compared them with the type of 

 T. salinoni and other specimens of that species in the 

 British Museum, 1 do not see any chai'acters by which to 

 separate them. I prefer, therefore, to regard them as the 

 same species. I notice that Lonnberg places his species in 

 the genus Heterocnus, though one of the characters he 

 mentions shows that it does not belong to that genus. 

 It may be mentioned that when Swainson introduced the 

 genus Tigrisoina (Zool. Journ. iii. 1828, p. 362), he se- 

 lected as the type " Ardea tiyrina Lath.'^ 1790 = .^. lineata 

 Bodd. 1783, and one of its characters is, that it has the 

 throat and chin narrowly feathered. Sharpe introduced the 

 genus Heterocnus for Tiyrisoma cabanisl Heine, which has 

 the chin, throat, and some distance down the fore-neck quite 

 bare of feathers; but Sharpe, unfortunately, in his diagnosis 

 described these parts as featliered. These characters are 

 also transposed in the key to the genera (Catalogue of 

 Birds, XX vi. p. 39).
