Mr. E. C. Stuart Baker proposed new names for certain 

 birds on the Indian list, and described certain new species 

 and subspecies as follows : — 



■4- iEgithaliscus concinna iredalei, nom. nov. 



Vigors's name of Parus £rytlirocephalus (1831) for the 

 Red-headed Tit is invalidated by Parus erytlirocepliulus of 

 Linne, Syst. Nat. 10th ed. p. 191 (1758). The next oldest 

 specific name is concinna, from Psaltria concinna of Gould 

 (B. of Asia, pt. vii. 1855), a Chinese race of this species, and 

 a new subspecific name must be given. 



I propose to call it as above after Mr. T. Iredale, who has 

 given me much assistance in nomeclature whilst working at 

 my ' Catalogue of Indian Birds.' 

 .^ The type-locality of ^. erythrocephalus was merely 



^^ " Hiuialayas," and this I restrict to Simla. 



■^ Chloropsis aurifrons davidsoni, nom. nov. 



Turdtis malabariciis Gmelin, p. 837, is preoccupied by the 

 same author, p. 816 (1788). The oldest specific name 

 appears to be Phyllornis aurifrons Temminck, PI. Col. 484, 

 1829, but there is no subspecific name available, and I 

 therefore propose to call it davidsoni after Mr. J. Davidson, 

 a keen ornithological worker for many years in the West of 

 India. 



Type - locality for C. aurifrons was given in errore as 

 . -^ Sumatra, corrected by Sharpe to India, and may now be 

 urther restricted to Cachar. 



"^ Hypothymis azurea sykesi, nom. nov. 



MuscicajM cosrideocephala of Sykes is preoccupied by 

 ^/ Muscicapa ckndeocephala of Scopoli, Del Flor. et Faun.
