* I have followed Mr. Ridgway entirely as to the number of forms to be admitted into 

 this genus, not having sufficient material in the British Musenm to warrant any criticism 

 of his views, and his observatiojis (pp. 350-352) deserve the greatest consideration 

 from ornithologists, the facts which he brings forward as to the different races of 

 Melospizte being quite startling and of remarkable interest. He allows 20 subspecies 

 of M. cinerea.
