473. Le Plaistron Noir. A typical example of the genus Drymoica, 

 Nob. 



491. Blue-headed Tanager. The figure and description of this bird 

 agrees with the T. Braziliensis of authors in every respect but 

 one. The whole of the head in this appears to be blue; in the 

 other, there is a black stripe on the hinder part. 



510. During our residence in Italy, we found it impossible to ascer- 

 tain what was the real Becafico of tlie Italians. This name, in 

 fact, is applied promiscuously to all those small birds of the 

 warbler family, which, during the summer, feed upon the ripe 

 figs. 



VOL. VII. p. 59. — Cypselus Mysfaceus. Through the kindness of our 

 friend, M. Lesson, we examined the only specimen of this bird in 

 Europe, It may be considered the type of our genus Macrop- 

 teryx. (Zool. 111., 2d Series, pi. 47.) 



62. Hirnndo Fidva. The observations that our Melanogaster seems 

 closely allied to this bird is perfectly correct ; we believe, in 

 short, that they are the same. When we wrote our'description, 

 the beautiful work of Prince Charles Buonaparte had not reached 

 England ; and we considered M. Vieillci's account as too vague 

 for application. 



70. Cypselus Giganteus. "We suspected, when describing our Chsetura 

 Macroptera, which is this bird, that it had already been named. 

 The specific appellation of Giganteus, although equally appli- 

 cable to the next species, [Ch. Alhicollis), which, in fact, is 

 rather larger, must be preferred to Macroptera. The group is 

 too distinct to remain under the genus in which it has been 

 placed by M. Teraminck. 



127. The Commanding Bunting, Emberyza Cristata, Zool. 111. 3, 

 pi. 148. We believe this species appeared in the Zool. Illus- 

 trations, prior to its publication, in the works of MM. Temminck 

 and Vieillot, The artists who have designed these latter figures, 

 have contributed to give a most erroneous idea of the structure of
