Myzomela spec. an subspecies nova? Rothschild & Hartert. Nov. Zool. X p. 223. 



Humboldt Bay, April 2çth, n°. 207 (in spirits). 



This bird agrées with the description given by Rothschild and Hartert 1. c. A good deal 



of the crownfeathers are tipped with red. The red gular patch, mentioned by the above 



named authors, is hère reduced to a small longitudinal gular stripe. I think it safer not to 



found a new species on this single bird, that moreover may be discoloured in the alcohol. 



Glycichaera fallax Salv. ?

Humboldt Bay, April 2çth and June 3rd, n°. 208, 288 (in spirits). 

 In colour both birds resemble G. poliocephala, but they are doubtlessly discoloured in 

 the alcohol. They differ from typical G. fallax in being smaller (wing 52 and 49 mm.) and 

 in having the upper mandible black. A female spécimen of G. fallax in the Leyden Muséum 

 is as small as my birds, so I don't think it right to give my birds a new name. Moreover 

 G. fallax is known to occur at Humboldt Bay (Nov. Zool. X p. 435).
