In addition to the above new species the collection contained 

 examples of the following : — 



Pitta soror, Wardlaw-Ramsay. Hitherto known only 

 from the type in the British Museum. 



Rheinhardtius ocellatus (Verr.). Adult and immature 

 males and adult female. 



Polypledron germaini, Elliot. Adult males and females. 



Lophura diardi (Bonap.). Adult males and female. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant called attention to a mistake made by 

 him in a recent number of the ^ Bulletin.' A species of Tit- 

 Babbler from Central Formosa was described by him under 

 the name Alcippe obscurior (cf. Bull. B. O. C. xvi. no. cxxvi. 

 p. 121). This bird should stand as Alcippe (or better 

 Schaniparus) brunneus (Gould). The quite distinct white- 

 bellied Chinese form, with which the Formosan bird had 

 been united by all ornithologists, was not S. brunneus and must 

 bear the name of S. superciliaris (David) . Though David 

 described the Chinese bird in 1874, he subsequently united 

 it with S. brunneus, Gould \_cf. David & Oust. Ois. Chine, 

 p. 217 (1877)].
