* Several species of the New Holland birds in the Society's collection were de- 

 scribed by Dr. Latham in his " General History," but did not at the same time receive 

 tiicir scientific names, which were intended to appear in a second edition of the " Index 

 Oniithulogiciis." Being unwilling in our present undertaking to anticipate the names 

 of the first descrlber of these birds, we applied to Dr. Latham for permission to use his 

 manuscript names, which he kindly granted, hi the case of the species before us, he 

 expressed his wish to dedicate it to Lord Stanley, who had presented him with the si^e- 

 cimen from which he drew his original description ; and we feel much pleasure in uniting 

 with him in paying this well-merited compliment.
