 I believe Menctrics and Burmeister are in error in considering 

 C. melanops and C. dorsalis as specifically different. Prince Max 

 (who found them breeding) describes them very clearly as being dif- 

 ferent sexes of the same bird ; and such would be the obvious deduc- 

 tion from an examination of specimens.
