Dr. Sharpe also made some notes on the species of 

 Muscicapida, and pointed out that Siphia enganensis, Ogilvie 

 Grant, was the male of Siphia herioti, Wardlaw Ramsay, 

 both species having been described from Luzon. 



Dendrobiastes basilanica, Sharpe (Tr. Linn. Soc., Zool. 

 new ser. i. p. 332, 1876), was without doubt the female of 

 Muscicapula mindanensis , W '. Blasius (J. f. O. 1890, p. 147). 

 The rufous female was very much like a Setaria and other 

 Timeliine forms, and had been placed by Dr. Sharpe in the 

 latter family. The species should be called Muscicapula 

 basilanica. 



Poecilodryas armiti, De Vis, which had been considered to 

 be a P achy cephalop sis by Count Salvadori (Ann. Mus. 

 Genov. (2) xvi. p. 89, 1896) seemed to Dr. Sharpe to be 

 a species of Heteromyias, nearly allied to H. cinereifrons 

 (Ramsay), and should be called Heteromyias armiti. 



Dr. Sharpe also pointed out that the Cryptolopha from 

 Kina Balu, hitherto identified by himself and others as 

 C. trivirgata, was a distinct species, which he proposed to 

 call 



Cryptolopha kinabaluensis, n. sp. 

 Similis C. trivirgata, sed pileo medio grisescente, nee flavo, 

 et corpore subtus albicante, vix fiavo lavato, minime 

 lsete flavo distinguenda. Long. tot. 4 - poll., alse 2'35. 



Mr. Sclater called attention to an example of the Alpine 

 form of the Ring-Ouzel {Tardus turquatus) from Transylvania, 

 which had been presented to the Zoological Society by Mr. J. 

 Young, F.Z.S., in August 1894, and was still living in the 

 Gardens, and made some remarks on the status of this species 

 or subspecies. The specimen was at first supposed to be a 

 young bird, but it still retained the broad white edgings to 

 the feathers, and was evidently referable to Turdus alpestris, 

 Brehm, recognized as a distinct species in the Supplement 

 to Dresser's ' Birds of Europe ' (p. 9, pi. 635).
