Though none of these appear in the Catalogue of Birds, we 

 note that the last two have since been brought into use and 

 it may be the other has. The first-named was proposed for 

 a Cape Bird nine years before Jardine and Selby used the 

 same name for a species, now placed in Urolestes, from the 

 same locality. 



A monograph of Columha, written by Desmarest, has 

 been correctly cited in the Catalogue of Birds. It is here 

 noted to remark that the species Columba zoeje, p. 314, 

 C. oceanica, p. 316, and C. cyanovirens, p. 343, must be

In the fiftieth volume Lesson, under the name Soni-Manga, 

 wrote a monograph of the genus Cinnyris Cuvier. All the 

 names appear to be recorded in the Catalogue of Birds, but 

 the names given in the Zool. Voy. Coquille were given priority
