5. No label. 



Not one of the specimens carries out the distinctions given by Mr. Seebohm (Hist. 

 Brit. B. ii. p. 275), for the separation of C. brachydactyla and C. pispoletta; for the 

 proportions of the primaries and secondaries, as points of distinction between them, 

 are certainly not definite in any of the birds brought home by Dr. Aitchison.
