PI. 133. Otis afra, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 51 (1844 : Cape 

 of Good Hope). 

 Is Compsotis afra (Forst.) [<$]; Sharpe, Cat. B., xxiii., 

 p. 293. 

 Latham's White-eared Bustard (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, p. 802, 

 pi. lxix.) is founded on " a pair in the possession of Sir Joseph 

 Banks " (uncle Otis afra, Gm. Syst. Nat., i., p. 724). 



PI. 134. The two figures on this plate are apparently the 



female and young male of Compsotis afra. 

 PI. 135. Tetrao capensis, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 400 (1844; 

 South Africa). 

 = Francolinus capensis (Gm.) (cf. Ogilvie-Grant, Cat. B., 

 xxii., p. 165). 

 The type of Latham's "Cape Partridge" (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, 

 p. 756) was in the British Museum. 



PI. 136. Columba leucophrys, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 168 

 (1844: Otaheitee). 

 = Phlogoenas erythroptera (Gm.) ; cf. Salvad., Cat. B., 

 xxi., p. 600 [vide postea, p. 205, for Latham's Garnet- 

 winged Pigeon, described from a specimen in the 

 Leverian Museum]. 

 " Tahiti." 

 PI. 137. Columba argetrsea, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 80 

 (1844 : New Zealand). 

 = Hemiphaga novae zeolandiss (Gm.) (cf. Salvad., 



Cat. B., xxi., p. 236). 

 " Dusky Bay, N.Z., April 3, 1773. Harriroo." 

 This seems to be the type of Latham's " New Zealand 

 Pigeon" (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, p. 640), as he gives Forster's 

 note, but does not mention the Banksian specimens or drawings. 

 PI. 138. Columba xanthura, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 264 



(1844 : Tanna). 

 Latham describes this species as among Sir Joseph Banks' 

 drawings, but he refers to it as a variety of his " Hooked-billed 

 Pigeon," with which it has nothing to do. He names it Columba 

 tannensis in his " Index Ornithologicus," vol. ii., p. 600, =Ptilopu8 

 tanncnsis (Lath.) (cf. Salvad., Cat. B., xxi., p. 127). 



PI. 139. Columba globicera, Forst., Descr. Anim.. p. 166 



(1844 : Tonga-Tabu et Eavowe : Otaheitee). 

 I am inclined to think that this iigure represents Columba 

 pacijica, Gm. (Globicera pacijica, Salvad., Cat. B., xxi., ]>. 17.">). 

 though Count Salvadori seems to entertain some doubt about it.
