Bangs on a neiv bird from the Philippines. 



[A new Striated Warbler from the Philippines. By Oiitram Bangs. 

 Proe. New England Zoological Club, vii. 1919, pp. 0-6.] 



In a short note Mr. Bangs distinguishes Megalurus 

 pahislris furbesi, subsp. n., from Luzon and probably the 

 other islands of the Philippine group, from the typical 

 M. p. pahislris from Java, by its smaller size and greyer 

 coloration. 



Bangs and Penard on the Lafresnaye types. 



[Some critical notes on birds. By Outram Bangs and Thomas E. 

 Penard. Bull. Mus. Comp. Zoul. Ixiii. 1919, pp. 21-40.] 



The Lafresnaye collection of birds, containing most of the 

 types described by that ornithologist in the early part of 

 the last century, has recently been handed over to the 

 jNIuseum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, Mass., by 

 the Boston Society of Natural History. It is the intention 

 of the authors to pul>lish an account of the collection, its 

 types, and a sketch of Lafresnaye's life ; but in the mean- 

 time we have here a number of rarulom notes, mostly changes 

 in nomenclature and descriptions of new forms, noticed when 

 identifying Lafresnaye's types. 



We have not space here to mention the various changes 

 proposed, but we notice new forms of Herpetotheres, Eupsit- 

 tula, Plcolaptes, Saltator, and many other genera chiefly 

 from South America; a new genus Cnemuscopus is pro- 

 posed for Arremon rubrirostris Lafres., and Tachuris Lafres. 

 1836 must replace Cyanotis Swains. 1837.
