420 Ant. Reicheiiow und Herman Schalow: 



Uebrigens wiederhole ich hier, dass ich weit entfernt bin, 

 Herrn Forstmeister Goebel irgend einen Tadel auszusprechen, ich 

 strebe nur dahin, zu verhüten, dass nicht Arten in eine Fauna 

 aufgenommen werden, die nicht dahin gehören. Dergleichen 

 Irrthümer sind sehr schwer wieder aus der Literatur zu entfernen.

COLYMBIDAE. 



Eudyptes Filholi. 



Hutton. Proc. Linn. Soc. of New South Wales, 1879. HL 

 p. 334. 



In colof and in length of crest, this species is interniediate 

 between E. chrysocome and E. chrysoiopha ; but is easily distinguished 

 froni both by the superciliary yellow streaks commencing behind 

 the terraination of the culmen instead of between the termination 

 of the culmen and the nostrils, and by the dark color of the back 

 advancing on the sides of the lower neck. From E. chrysocome it 

 is also distinguished by the uarrowness of the bill, and the different 

 shape of the black mark ou the under surface of the apex of the 

 wing, in which E. Filholi resembles E. chrysoiopha. From the latter 

 species it is also distinguished by its color.

EALLIDAE. 



Gallinula Frankii. 



H. Schlegel, Notes Roy. Zool. Mus. Leyden. No. 3. 1879. 

 p. 163. 



It is similar to G. olivacm but has the frontal plate smaller 

 The culmen of the upper mandible is more curved and the bill 

 itself, yellowish in Gallinula olivacea is dusky brown in our new 

 species. Legs and feet are grayish brown in the latter species, 

 grayish yellow in the former. Of all the characteristics however 

 the coloring of the plumage presents the most strikiug ditierence, 

 the Gallinula Frankii having all parts tinged formely with a dark 

 grayish brown, washcd with olivaceous, with the exception of the 

 belly, that of the throat, the color of which is somewhat lighter. 

 and that of the quills and tailfeathers which are of a pure dark 

 brown.
