154 NOVITATES ZOOLOMOAB XXVI. 1919. 



175. Chloris sinica ussuriensis Hart. = Ohloris sinica ussurieyisis. 

 Chloris sinica ussuriensis Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 64 (1903 — " Ostliche Mandschurei bia 

 7um Amur, Korea und die Inseln Saohalin und Askold "). 



Type : <J ad., mouth of Sidemi, Amur Bay, 30. iv. 1884. Domes Bros. leg. 

 (Sharpe, Hand-list of Birds, v. p. 196, says that Chloris must be rejected 

 because of Chloris Schwarz 1788, but this is evidently an error.) ■ 



176. Eophona personata magniiostris Hart. = Eophona personata magnirostris. 



EophoTM personata magnirostris Hartert, Bull. B.O. Glvb, v. p. xxxviii. (April 1896 — ^Amur-land). 



Type : <? ad., Amur Bay, Ussuriland, 10. iv. 1894. Lorries Bros. leg. , 



177. Eophona melanura migratoria Hart. = Eophona melanura migratoria. 

 Eophona melanura migratoria Hartert, Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 59 (1903 — " Ussuri-Landpr Siidost- 

 Sibiriens "). 



Type : S ad., Sidemi Eiver, 24. v. 1884. Dorries Bros. leg. 



(It is interesting to see that in the case of Eophona personata the form from 

 Eastern Liberia has the larger bill, while in the E. melanura it is the small-beaked 

 one. This case shows again, what I have so often emphasized, that one cannot 

 lay down rules how the forms from one country must be, from the evidence of 

 other forms, and that nature has not developed in a machine-lilce way. Probably 

 in similar cases the development of the two forms has been quite different ; for 

 example, the one race may have become differentiated in Ussuri-land, while in 

 the other it may have been there first and become altered in the southern parts 

 of its habitat.) 



178. Guiraca rothschildii Bartl. = Cyanocompsa rothschildii. 



Chiiraca Rothschildii E. Bartlett, Ann, tfc Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. vi. p. 168 (1890 — 'R. Carimang, 

 British Guiana). 



Type : S ad.. River Carimang, 22. iv. 1885. H. Whitely coll. 



(Ridgway, B. N. and Middle Amer. i. p. 594, 1903, has separated Cyanocompsa 

 from Guiraca, and other American ornithologists as well as Sharpe, Hellmayr, 

 Chubb, have followed him. While admitting that the two groups show some 

 differences in the shape of the wing and bill, those of the tail are not constant, 

 and altogether the differences have been overrated). 



179. Oryzoborus angolensis brevirostris Berl. = Oryzdborus angolensis brevirostris. 

 Oryzdborus angolensis brevirostris Berlepsoh, Nov. Zool. 1908. p. 115 (Cayenne).
