* I have followed Mr. Oates in placing this genus in the Timeliidoe, but I cannot 

 believe that this is its proper position. A specimen recently died in Dr. A. Gr. Butler's 

 aTiary, and was presented by him to the Museum, where Mr. W. P. Pycraft has 

 examined it. He decides that Psaroglossa is certainly not a Starling, but that, as far 

 as can be determined at present, it is allied to the Bulbuls (Pycnonotidee), which 

 birds Dr. Butler considers it to resemble in habits. When Mr. Pycraft has completed 

 his observations, he will publish a paper on the subject.
