29. Schlegel on Gallinula frank. 
[On Gallinula frankii. By H. Schlegel. Notes Leyd. Mus. no. xl. 
p. 163 (1879).] 
Gallinula frankii is a name given to the southern form of 
Amaurornis olivacea of the Philippines. But this form has 
already been named Porzana moluccana by Wallace, and 
should stand as Amaurornis moluccana (cf. Salvadori, Atti 
Acad. Se. Tor. xiv., and Sclater, P.Z.S. 1879, p. 451).

31. Shelley’s Monoyraph of the Sun-birds. 
[A Monograph of the Cinnyride, or Family of Sun-Birds. By Captain 
G. E. Shelley, F.Z.S., F.R.G.S., &c. Parts I1.—X. 4to: London. Pub- 
lished by the Author, at the Office of the British Ornithologists’ Union, 
6 Tenderden Street, Hanover Square, W. | 
We owe apologies to Capt. Shelley for not having recently 
chronicled the progress of his excellent Monograph of the 
Sun-birds, the parts of which have been issued during the 
past two years with praiseworthy regularity. 
We have now before us ten parts of Capt. Shelley’s work. 
As twelve parts were the limit originally assigned, although 
we are now told that one or two additional parts will be re- 
quired for recent additions to the group, we trust that it may 
shortly be brought to a conclusion, when it will ferm a worthy 
companion to the well-known monographs of Sharpe and the 
Marshalls.
