28 A. von Pelzeln on Birds in 



37. Frbgilus graculus (Linne). (128.) 



This bird, (Sale Cat. 4267) , was transferred to the duplicates 

 in the year 1832. 



STURNIDtE. 



38. Creadion carunculatus (Gmel.). (307, 308.) 

 Wattled Stare, Lath. Gen. Synop. ii. 9, t. 36 (Mus. Lever.). 

 Sturnus carunculatus, Gmel. Syst. i. 805 ; Lath. Ind. Orn. 



i. 324. 6. 



Both specimens of the Sturnus carunculatus were, on 

 account of their bad state, not retained ; they were evidently 

 the types of Latham's description and figures ; and I suppose 

 that they were collected by Forster. 



ICTERIDtE. 



39. Nesopsar nigerrimus (Osburn). (195.) 

 Icterus ater, Natterer, MSS. in collect. 



Icterus nigerrimus, Osburn, Zoologist, pp. 6661, 6714 

 (1859). Jamaica. 



Nesopsar nigerrimus (Osburn), Sclater, Catal. Coll. 139. 



Agelaius (Nesopsar) nigerrimus, Cassin, Proc. Acad. Philad. 

 1866, 12. 



A specimen (Sale Cat. 587, var. Oriolus minor) . America. 



40. Agelaius humeralis (Vig.). (274.) 



A specimen marked Yellow-shouldered Titmouse, without 

 indication of habitat. 



It agrees with D'Orbigny's description (Sagra, Ornith. Cuba, 

 114), except that the colour of the body is not- black, but 

 greyish brown, on the upper parts, wings, and tail glossed 

 with metallic green, the throat almost white, a few of the 

 greater wing-coverts and many of the rectrices showing a 

 narrow rusty margin. According to Cassin (Proc. Acad. 

 Philad. 1866, 11) the females and young males of A. humeralis ^ 

 are stated to be black (as in A. assimilis, also from Cuba) ; a ^ 

 specimen in Mr. Lawrence's collection, which he regards as 

 a young male of this species, is clear uniform black, the 

 rufous of the shoulder beginning to appear. M. Gundlach,
