confounded with L. pomeranus by myself and all recent writers, 

 except Mr. Hartert. The range of L. paradoxus appears to be 

 from Persia to Palestine and south into Equatorial Africa, as 

 is evidenced by the series in the British Museum from the 

 following localities : — 



Persia {Mus. Brit.), Niriz, east of Shiraz (IF. T. Blanford), 

 Shiraz {Sir 0. St. John), Mohammerah {K. Loftus), Bushire 

 (A. J. V. Palmer), Pao {W. D. Cumming), Mount Carmel, 

 Palestine, Safed, and Eiver Kishon {H. B. Tristram), Egypt, 

 Nubia, and Korusko {G. E. Shelley), Fashoda (B. M. Haivher), 

 Bogos-land {Esler), Amba {W. Jesse), Halai, Abyssinia {W. T. 

 Blanford), Gadaburka, Abyssinia {H. Weld Blundell Sf Lord Lovat), 

 Mackanis, Somali-land {R. M. HaivTcer). The specimen from 

 Dowlutpur in Sind, in the Hume Collection, said to have been 

 procured there by Mr. J. A. Murray, is, like some other supposed 

 Sind examples, doubtless from the Persian Gulf.

It is scarcely surprising to find that Captain Shelley has united 

 Z. Jlavilateralis, Z. superciliosa, and Z. stidilmanni, all species 

 described by Dr. Eeichenow, with Z. senegalensis. The differences 

 of shade of colouring are very slight, and consist of a yellower or 

 greener tint. I can, however, see that Z. Jlavilateralis, as deter- 

 mined for me by Mr. Oscar Neumann, is a greener bird than 

 Z. senegalensis. The same is the case \\\t\\ the Omo River birds, 

 which are duller green above and more sulphur-yellow below than 

 Z. ffavilateralis • but I cannot bring myself to consider them 

 distinct, though Mr. Oscar Neumann believes them to be so.

Captain Shelley has united Parus haral^:o' of Jackson to /■". 

 thruppi; but it seems to me that the latter is much more butt
