BLYTH'S CATALOGUE.. 



Blyth drew up his Catalogue, had several prints made and 

 distributed them among the leading European ornithologists 

 for correction and advice. These proof sheets were sent 

 out in 1849 and the corrected work was not published until 

 after June 1852. In the three years intervening some of the 

 new names proposed by Blyth in those proof sheets may 

 have been regularly introduced into literature by his corre- 

 spondents, and we have here a case where Gray cited some 

 apparently from that source. Thus in the Index of Generic 

 Names in the Genera of Birds, Vol. III., we note two. The 

 preface to the work is dated August 20th, 1849, with a P.S. 

 by Mitchell signed August 29th, 1849, and we conclude the 

 Index would come out with that. In the Index, p. 48, is 

 included "Blagrus^" p. 18. The footnote reads " ^ Blyth 

 1849. The type is Pontoaetus leucogaster," and on p. 55 

 " Pseudastur,^^ p. 12," the footnote ^'^ being "Blyth (1849). 

 The type is Buteo poecilonotus." 



FORT PITT, CHATHAM, BIRD COLLECTION. 



Gould in 1837 described two Australian birds from the 

 collection at Fort Pitt, Chatham, viz., Anthochcera lunulata 

 and Eoysaltria griseogularis, and the whereabouts of these 

 specimens are unknown, if existent. It has only recently 

 come to our notice that there was printed a " Catalogue of the 

 Collection of Mammals and Birds at Fort Pitt, Chatham."
