  " 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  perfectly 
  good 
  species, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Davison 
  has 
  re- 
  

   cognized 
  its 
  laeculiar 
  character, 
  viz. 
  the 
  dusky 
  horseshoe 
  on 
  

   the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  neck 
  — 
  a 
  point 
  equally 
  insisted 
  on 
  by 
  

   (^ount 
  Salvadori. 
  The 
  name 
  given 
  by 
  the 
  latter 
  gentleman 
  

   has 
  a 
  slight 
  priority, 
  for 
  it 
  bears 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  the 
  23rd 
  of 
  

   December, 
  1891, 
  while 
  Mr. 
  Davison's 
  name 
  appeared 
  on 
  the 
  

   1st 
  of 
  January, 
  1892.

  '' 
  I 
  have 
  compared 
  Mr. 
  Davison's 
  type 
  with 
  our 
  series 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  question 
  as 
  to 
  its 
  being 
  

   identical 
  with 
  the 
  above-named 
  species. 
  

  

  "The 
  type 
  of 
  his 
  Malacoptermn 
  melanocephalum 
  was 
  not 
  

   sent 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Davison, 
  but 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Acridotheres 
  torquatus 
  

   [t. 
  c. 
  p. 
  102), 
  which 
  I 
  exhibit, 
  shows 
  tliat 
  the 
  sp3cies 
  is 
  

   a 
  very 
  distinct 
  one, 
  characterized 
  at 
  once 
  by 
  the 
  broad 
  grey 
  

   band 
  on 
  the 
  fore 
  neck, 
  separating 
  the 
  pinkish 
  isabelline 
  of 
  

   the 
  throat 
  from 
  the 
  isabelline 
  of 
  the 
  chest 
  and 
  underparts. 
  

   It 
  belongs 
  to 
  my 
  subgenus 
  ^thiopsar, 
  and 
  should 
  be 
  called 
  

   /Ethiopsar 
  torquatus.'' 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Davison 
  had 
  also 
  sent 
  a 
  Stachyins 
  from 
  Pahang 
  

   which 
  was 
  apparently 
  new 
  to 
  science. 
  Dr. 
  Sharpe 
  proposed 
  

   to 
  call 
  it
