  forwarded 
  by 
  him 
  for 
  examination. 
  ]\Ir. 
  Styan 
  had 
  already 
  

   discovered 
  that 
  lihCri/ptolopha 
  Z)iCo/o?'was 
  not 
  aCri/ptolopha, 
  

   but 
  was 
  Herpornis 
  tyrannulas 
  of 
  Swinhoe. 
  Of 
  the 
  other 
  

   species 
  Dr. 
  Sharpe 
  found 
  iha,t 
  Pinarocichla 
  schmackeri, 
  Styan, 
  

   was 
  Crtniger 
  pallidus 
  of 
  Swinhoe 
  C^Ibis/ 
  1870, 
  p. 
  252; 
  cf. 
  

   Sharpe, 
  Cat. 
  B. 
  vi. 
  p. 
  81). 
  The 
  Cnjpsii'hina 
  nigra 
  was 
  a 
  

   Temnurus, 
  a 
  form 
  which 
  had 
  remained 
  uniqne 
  in 
  the 
  Paris 
  

   Museum 
  since 
  1825. 
  The 
  original 
  species, 
  Temnurus 
  trun- 
  

   catus, 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  come 
  from 
  Cochin 
  Chiua, 
  but 
  had 
  

   never 
  been 
  met 
  with 
  since. 
  It 
  was, 
  however, 
  extremely 
  pro- 
  

   bable 
  that 
  the 
  geims 
  Temnurus 
  would 
  be 
  found 
  both 
  in 
  Cochin 
  

   China 
  and 
  Hainan, 
  for 
  Mr. 
  Schmacker's 
  collection 
  conclu- 
  

   sively 
  proved 
  (if, 
  indeed, 
  any 
  further 
  proof 
  were 
  necessary 
  

   after 
  Swinhoc's 
  researches) 
  that 
  Hainan 
  formed 
  an 
  integral 
  

   part 
  of 
  tiie 
  Indo-Chinese 
  Region 
  ; 
  such 
  species 
  as 
  Harpacte.s 
  

   erythrocephalus, 
  lanthcenas 
  punicevs, 
  and 
  Siphia 
  paUidipes, 
  

   which 
  were 
  true 
  Himalayan 
  forms, 
  proclaiming 
  Hainan 
  to 
  

   be 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  Himalayan 
  subregion. 
  Whether 
  

   Temnurus 
  niger 
  would 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  conspecific 
  with 
  Temnurus 
  

   truncatus 
  could 
  only 
  be 
  determined 
  by 
  a 
  comparison 
  of 
  it 
  

   with 
  the 
  types 
  in 
  Paris. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Sharpe 
  next 
  made 
  some 
  remarks 
  on 
  a 
  remarkable 
  

   paper 
  recently 
  published 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Hartlaub, 
  entitled 
  "Vier 
  

   seltcne 
  Eallen^' 
  (Abhaudl. 
  nat. 
  Ver. 
  Bremen, 
  xii. 
  Heft 
  3, 
  

   pp. 
  389-402) 
  . 
  In 
  this 
  paper 
  Dr. 
  Hartlaub 
  had 
  discussed 
  Rallus 
  

   monasa 
  of 
  Kittlitz 
  from 
  Kuschai, 
  and 
  proposed 
  the 
  generic 
  

   name 
  oi 
  Kittlitzia 
  for 
  the 
  bird. 
  Dr, 
  Sharpe 
  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  

   this 
  generic 
  name 
  had 
  already 
  been 
  employed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Hartert 
  

   for 
  the 
  Starling 
  of 
  Kuschai, 
  which 
  Kittlitz 
  called 
  Caloimis 
  

   corvina 
  [cf. 
  Hartert, 
  ' 
  Kat. 
  Vogelsamml. 
  Senckenb. 
  Mus.' 
  

   p. 
  75). 
  He 
  proposed, 
  therefore, 
  to 
  change 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  

   Kittlitzia, 
  Hartlaub 
  {nee 
  Hartert), 
  to 
  Aphanolimnas 
  , 
  the 
  

   characters 
  being 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  those 
  so 
  fully 
  set 
  forth 
  by 
  

   Dr. 
  Hartlaub 
  in 
  his 
  paper. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  second 
  species 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Hartlaub, 
  Pennula 
  

   ecaudato 
  (King), 
  a 
  specimen 
  was 
  placed 
  upon 
  the 
  table 
  from 
  

   the 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  Hon. 
  Walter 
  Hothschild, 
  who 
  had 
  kindly
