We may, however, remark that the proposed change of the 
name of Muscicapa grisola to Muscicapa striata striata will 
uot, we believe, find many followers. As we have said 
before, such a change is not a reform, but a revolution ! 
63. Hartert’s ‘ Miscellanea Ornithologica? 
[Miscellanea Ornithologica. Critical, Nomenclatorial, and other 
Notes, mostly on Palearctic Birds and their Allies. By Ernst Hartert, 
Ph.D. Noy. Zool. xiv. p, 335 (1907). Part IV.] 
Dr. Hartert continues his ornithological notes *, and 
points out that the proper name of the Asiatic Flycatcher 
usually called Muscicapa luteola is M. mugimaki, the true 
M. luteola of Pallas being the eastern form of M. parva. 
He then directs attention to the genera Cryptolopha, 
Abrornis (lege ‘“ Habrornis”’), Tickellia, and Phylloscopus, 
and shews how difficult it is to arrange the forms assigned 
to them in a satisfactory manner. He comments freely on 
Dr. Bianchi’s recent review of these genera (Bull. Ac. Imp. 
Se. Pétersb. sér. 5, vol. xxili. p. 65), and corrects some of 
the identifications made by him and other authors. He 
adopts ‘‘collybita” of Vieillot (1817) as the specific name 
of the Chiffchaff, in place of the ordinary term ‘‘ rufus,” as 
has been done by Prof. Newton (B. B. i. p. 437), and 
attributes six subspecies to it. 
64. Hellmayr on the Birds of the Lower Amazons. 
[Another Contribution to the Ornithology of the Lower Amazons. 
By C. E. Hellmayr. Novy. Zool. xiv. p. 1 (1907).] 
Mr. Hoffmanns, whose collection of birds from the vicinity 
of Para formed the subject of a previous communication 
from Herr Hellmayr+, has lately sent to Trmg two more 
consignments of Lower Amazonian birds, one from San- 
tarem on the left bank of the Rio Tapajos and the other 
from Obidos on the north bank of the Amazons. We have 
here a report on these two collections. 
The specimens from Santarem are referred to 78 species,
