No. 105. Black-headed Creeper, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 167. 

 Certhia atricapilla, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxxvii. 

 This figure is intended for the bird usually called Melithreptus 

 lanulatus (Shaw) ; cf. Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 204. Shaw's name 

 is adopted by Dr. Gadow, but I cannot reconcile the des- 

 cription given by Shaw (Gen. Zool., viii., p. 224, 1811) — with 

 the "back, wings, and tail cinnamon-brown" — with any species 

 of Melithreptus. The name ought to have been dropped on this 

 account, but it matters no longer, as Latham's name of atri- 

 capilla antedates Shaw's name by ten years. 



No. 106. Identified by Latham as his " Black-headed Creeper," 

 but it is a very poor representation, the back being brown, and 

 no sign of the white on the nape. 



No. 107. Cochineal Creeper, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 167. 

 Certhia dibapha, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxxvii. 

 Myzomela sanguinolenta (Lath.) ; Gadow, Cat. B., ix., 

 p. xxxvii. 

 Watling's note : " The natural size." (See No. 108.) 

 No. 108. Cochineal Creeper. 



This is the type of Latham's " Cochineal Creeper," as is 

 further proved by his adoption, without acknowledgment, of 

 Watling's note : " A rare bird, only seen in the spring." 



C. dibapha is a synonym of M. sanguinolenta (Lath.), but 

 Latham does not seem to have recognised the fact from the 

 drawings. 



No. 109. Sanguineous Creeper, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., 

 p. 167, pi. cxxx. 

 Certhia sanguinolenta. Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxxvii. 

 Myzomela sanguinolenta, Gadow, Cat. B., ix., p. 131. 

 This is the type of Latham's " Sanguineous Creeper," and I 

 believe the plate in the second "Supplement" to the "General 

 Synopsis " to have been taken from Watling's figure. 



No. 110. Cserulean Creeper, Lath., Gen. Syn., Suppl. ii., p. 169. 



Certhia cserulescens, Lath., Ind. Orn., Suppl., p. xxxviii. 



Zosterops cserulescens, Sharpe, Cat. B., ix., p. 152. 



This is evidently intended for a Zosterops, but the colours 



are not very exact. The white eyelid is shown in Watling's 



drawing, which is of the " natural size." Latham does not mention
