142 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol IV. 



Reference may here be made to another " Preis List der 

 Vogel aus NeuhoUand " which appeared in the Isis 1825, 

 Beylage No. 1. In this three names occur accredited to Sieber 

 (the collector) as follows : Psittacus hathurstii Sieber ; this is 

 a nomen nudum, and does not appear to have been referred 

 to since ; Coluniba laivsonii Sieber ; this is also a nomen 

 nudum, but was referred to C. elegans by Wagler as cited in 

 Mathews's Check List ; and Paradisea imperialis Sbr. {Oriolus 

 rege7is Lesch.). This seems to be a reference to Oriolus 

 regens published by Quoy and Gaimard in the same year, and 

 Sieber's name may be included in the synonymy of Sericulus 

 chrysocephalus (Lewin 1808, Meliphaga). 



BERTHOLD'S EDITION OF LATREILLE. 



RiCHMOTSiD some years ago indicated the existence of the 

 genus name, EurhyncJms, a synonym of Probosciger, in Berthold's 

 edition of LatreiUe. The recent acquisition of a copy of this 

 work suggests the following note, as it does not seem to have 

 been previously examined by any systematic ornithologist. 

 The title-page shows it to be merely a German translation of 

 LatreiUe with additions by Berthold. The additions, however, 

 are few in number and provide very little of scientific interest, 

 but in half a dozen instances Berthold has added Latin 

 equivalents of the vernaculars provided by LatreiUe. The 

 citation may be Berthold, Naturl. Eam. Thierreich (LatreiUe) ; 

 the title-page is dated 1827, while the preface date is Aug. 30, 

 1826.
