 1H17, is [)reoccupie(l by F. cinerea Gmelin, Syst. Nat. i. 

 l)t. 2, p. 922, 1789. The next name available appears 

 to be /'Jslrilda troijlodytes (Fringdla IroglodyteH Liclif,. 

 Verz. Doubl. 182.'{, p. 26: tSenegambia). 



Ibis, 1!)18, p. 447. Laijonosticta rufopicta. These birds should 

 probably be known as Lagonosticta rufopicta incerta 

 (Lagonosiicla incerta Mearns, Smithsonian Misc. Coll. 

 Ivi. 1900, No. 14, p. 6: Gondokoro). Mr. Sclater has 

 recently examined the types at Washington, and from 

 his (lesori})tion they are identical with the birds in tlie 

 Butler collection. They differ from typical L. rufopicta 

 from tiie (lold Coast by their greyer, less brown, l)a(;ks 

 and ii[ip<M- siirfacc^s. 



Ibis, 1918, [). 4r)(). I'ljU'luo 'iiidba soudaneusis. With this sul)- 

 species we would provisionally identify Pytelia slatini 

 Madarasz, Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. Budapest, xiii. 1915, 

 p. GOl. We have only recently seen this memoir. 



Ibis, 1918, ]). 4r)4. After Spermesies cucullatus insert Amaic- 

 resthes frill gilloides. A specimen of this bird was sent 

 by Mr. King from Kajo Kaji in the Lado Enclave; it 

 was collected 16 Mch. 1917, and constitutes the fii'st 

 record of this species from the Sudan. 



Ibis, 1918, p. 456. Qiielea erythrops. An adult female of tliis 

 species was collected at Kajo Kaji in Jan. 1917. This 

 is tlie first recorded occurrence since lleuglin's specimen 

 mentioned on p. 456. 



Ibis, 1918, pp. 450-7. J'yronielana jlammiceps craspedopterus. 

 Accoi'ding to Ijonnberg (Ark. Zool. Stockh. 1918, xii. 

 No. 3), Loxia Jwrdacea of Liunfeus, 1758, is founded 

 on a specimen of what is known as Pyromelana 

 Jlammiceps. Assuming that Linnseus's specimen came 

 from West Africa, our birds should be known as 

 Pi/roiiielana Jwrdacea craspedopterus.
