134 ON AN OVERLOOKED SPECIES OP REGULOIDES. 



At Mr. Brooks' request I append a note to this paper. 

 Most certainly the two birds differ conspicuously in appearance, 

 and most certainly their geographical range is distinct. I 

 have a very large series, no less than 120 specimens, now befdre 

 me killed at various seasons of the year, from the latter part 

 of August to the end of May. The very brightest and 

 greenest specimens of the North-West bird killed at the end of 

 September or very early in October, are clearly browner, and 

 less green than, and have a different tint of colouring to, any 

 that I have seen of the Eastern bird. 



In going through even a large series like mine, I have not 

 found the smallest difficulty in separating the two forms. 



The following are lists of the specimens before me.
