whose interest in this group was well known to us. We 

 continue the species, psaroides, as type of the genus — 

 Haringtonia psaroides. 



Phyllobasileus. 



In the Museum Heineanum (Vol. I., p. 33, 1851) Oabanis 

 introduced Phyllobasileus as a new name on the score of 

 purism, for Reguloides Blyth. The type of the latter by 

 original designation was Regulus modestus Gould, when it 

 was introduced in the Journ. As. Soc. Beng., Vol XVI., pt. I, 

 1847, p. 442. Consequently this species is the type of 

 Phyllobasileus. We make this comment as the sole species 

 catalogued by Cabanis under the genus name was Motacilla 

 calendula Lin, while in a footnote was added " Hierher gehort 

 ferner : Ph. proregulus. Motacilla proregulus Pall." Gray, in 

 the Cat. Gen. Subgen. Birds, 1855, p. 35, correctly synonymised 

 the.se names, though wrongly, citing as type "Regulus pro- 

 regidus Pall." We have carefully considered this item, as it 

 bears upon a name accepted in Mathews' List of Australian 

 Birds, viz. Ptencedus Cabanis. This name was proposed on 

 p. 39, as a pure emendation of Cinclorhamphus Gould, but 

 because the only species cited was Anthus rufescens Vig.-Horsf., 

 that species was quoted as "Type by monotypy." This is 

 incorrect, and Ptencedus must be recorded as a pure synonyn 

 of Cincloramphus Gould, as Gray, loc. cit., made it (p. 33), and 

 a new name given to the other group. 



The following corrections of references, as given in the 

 B.O.U. List, appear to be necessary, and are here put on 

 record that they may be incorporated at some later date in 

 a revised List, which seems a necessity to the succeeding 

 generation.

This correction is again drawn attention to, as the type above 



named is not the one given in the B.O.U. List, viz. A.
