In a note on the label of this specimen Strickland remarks : 

 "Markings of face incorrectly described and figured by Gould." 

 This is quite correct and the inaccuracy has misled Mr Lawrence 

 into describing the same bird as C. sumichrasti. The only specimen 

 that came imder Gould's observation at the time he wrote his 

 Monograph, which can be now traced, is that in the Paris Museum 

 and this is undoubtedly the same as Mr Lawrence's bird.
