Turdus nudigenis Lafresnaye certainly has jiriority over Tardus 

 gi/ifiiuiplithalmus Cal)anis, even though the nunihcrs f)f the Revue 

 zoologicjue may not have been is.sued in the months of which they 

 bear the dates. Hartlaub (Archiv. naturgesch., 1850, 2, p. 51) includes 

 Schomburgk's Reisen in his " Bericht iiber die vogel wiihrend des 

 Jahres 1849." We find also that the volume in ((uestion contains a 

 thinl list of subscribers Avhich we have every reason to believe was 

 made out after the second list appearing in the second volume, which 

 is dated " bis ende Februar 1848." 



Dr. Chas. W. Richmond writes (in lift.) that the third volume of 

 Schomburgk was probably published early in 1849. 



TiRDis RUFOPALLiATUS Lafrcsnayc. 



T^irdus rofopaUiatus Lafresnaye, Rev. zool., 1840, p. 259 ("Monte- 

 rey en Californie," — error, we substitute Acapulco, Southwestern 

 Mexico). 



Type— M. C. Z. 76,520, Lafr. coll. 3,568. 



Merula flarirostris (not Turdus fiavirostris Horsfield, 1821) Swain- 

 son, Philos. mag., 1827, new ser., 1, p. 369 (Temascaltepec, Mexico). 



This bird was collected by Leclancher on the vo;vage of the Venus. 

 The expedition stopped at ^lonterey, California, but the specimen 

 was probably not taken there. The name Turdus rufopalliatus, to 

 replace Mcrula flarirostris Swainson, must be used by all ornithologists 

 who, like ourselves, unite Planesticus and Turdus.
