Fortpflanzung des Monchsittichs (Bolborhynchus monackus) 

 in Gefangenschaft. Zool. Gart. 1872, pp. 257-263.

 nest- building Parrot, and of their successful wintering in an 

 open aviary in the zoological garden at Frankfort. 



Sclater, P. L. 



1. A Revision of the Species of the Fringilline Genus Sycalis. 

 Ibis, 1872, pp. 39-48, pis. ii. & iii. 



Nine species are recognized as known to the author, and are 

 fully described. Sycalis pelzelni is a new name for a species 

 previously referred wrongly to S. chloropsis. S. chrysops, 

 S. lutea, and S. aureiventris are figured. A tenth, apparently 

 valid species (S. citrina, Pelz.), is not known to the author. 



2. Observations on the Systematic Position of the Genera 

 Peltops, Eurylsemus, ara^Todus. Ibis, 1872, pp. 177-180. 



Peltops is stated to be a " Muscicapine " form allied to 

 Monarcha. The Eurylsemidse are Passerines, — probably " pa- 

 leogean representatives of the Cotingidse." Todus is certainly 

 a Coccygomorph allied to Hyhmanes (Momotidje) . 



3. On a new Parrakeet of the Genus Loriculus from the 

 Philippine Islands. Ibis, 1872, pp. 323-325, pi. xi. 



The new species is L. chrysonotus from Zebu, Philippines, 

 described and figured (pi. xi.) from specimens living in the 

 Zoological Society's Gardens. It is represented in Luzon by 

 L. culacissi, and in Negros and Panay by L. regulus.

 cember 1871. P. Z. S. 1872, p. 23. 



Notices arrival of Ramphastos cuvieri and Turdus pozci-

5. On Kaup's Cassowary (Casuarius kaupi), and on the 

 other known Species of the Genus. P. Z. S. 1872, pp. 

 147-150, t. ix. 



Identifies a Cassowary living in the Zoological Society's 

 gardens with Casuarius kaupi of Rosenberg. Dr. Schlegel 

 has referred specimens of the same bird (which is from New 

 Guinea) to C. bennetli, but incorrectly, both species being now
