 specifically separable, while cyanocephalus and suhcyano- 

 cejihalus are admitted as subspecies from Queensland and 

 northern Australia respectively. The Channel-bill (^Scy-

 endemic (Joucal is termed Polophilus Leach, in preference

The new Bullfinch, named Pyrrhula erythaca ivilderi after 

 IVFr. G. D. Wilder, who captured it in the mountains of the 

 Chill Province, China, differs from the typical race in its 

 smaller size and in some particulars of its coloration. 



The new birds from Celebes recently collected by Mr. H. C. 

 Haven are: — CapriinuUjus ajfitiis propinquus and Collocalia 

 vestita (i-nigma subspp. 11.; Hhumphococcyx centralis^ Lopho- 

 zosterops striaticeps, Culaponera abdttiva, and Cryptolopha 

 nesophila spp. 11.; Coracornis raveni and Celebesia abbotti 

 genn. et spp. n. are believed to be sufficiently distinct to 

 warrant the creation of new generic names ; Coracornis 

 is apparently allied to Pachyctphala, and Celebesia to 

 Malindangia Mearns;. 



While on a business mission to the Kolyma river region 

 of north-eastern Siberia in 1914, Mr. Copley Amory made a 

 good collection of 228 specimens of birds which he presented 

 to the National Museum at Washington. A collection made 

 by Mr. Koreu in the same region has been reported on by 

 Messrs. Thayer and Bangs, so that there are no novelties 

 among Mr. Amory ^s birds, but Mr. Riley has been able 

 to make interesting taxouomic remarks on some of the 

 species, and the collector has added some useful field- 

 notes.
