* Mr. O. Neumann informed me recently that A. buergersi was in his opinion the- 

 same as A. eudiabolus Rothsch. & Hart., and that a second specimen of A. buergersi 

 received was in his opinion adult (although the first was not) and was " nearly black 

 all over, with a few white marks on wing and tail." Dr. Hartert has since written 

 me that bUrgersi was the juvenile and eudiabolus the adult, but he concurs in the 

 identity of the two birds, so eudiabolus becomes a synonym. Astur planes of 

 Reichenow (J.f.O. 1910, p. 412, Neu Pommern) I have still been unable to place oi^ 

 identify, nor is Mr. Neumann certain of it.
