The plate is the type of Columba forsteri, Wagler, Isis, 1829,

PI. 140 = 9 Columba porphyracea, Forst., Descr. Anhn., 

 p. 167 (1844: Tropical Islands).

 " Taheiti. Oo-oo-pa." 

 PL 141. Ditto, ditto. Male. 



PL 142. Columba ferruginea, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 265 

 (1844: Tanna). 

 « Tanna, ? , 17th August, 1774." 

 This plate was examined by Count Salvadori, who was 

 unable to identify the species (cf. Salvad., Cat. B., xxi., p. 605). 

 PL 143. Alauda littorea, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 90 (1844 : 

 New Zealand). 

 = Antlius novse zealandise (Gm.) ; cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. 



Mus., x., p. 616. 

 " Kogoo uroare." 

 The "New Zealand Lark" of Latham (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 2, 

 p. 384, pi. Ii.) was founded on this plate, " from Sir Joseph 

 Banks' Drawings." The figure is therefore the type of A. novse 

 zealandise (Gm. ex Lath.). 



PL 144. Sturnus carunculatus, Forster, Descr. Anim., p. 81 

 (1844 : New Zealand). 

 = Creadion carunculatus (Gm.) ; Sharpe, Cat. B., iii.,

 PL 146. Turdus badius, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 239 (1844: 

 Oriadea). 

 = Turdus ulietensis, Gm. ; cf Seebohm, Cat. B.,v., p. 276, 

 note. Aplonis inornata, Sharpe, Cat. B., xiii., p. 135, 

 note. 

 " Raietea, $ , June 1, 1774." 

 Mr. Seebohm (I.e.) considered this figure to be that of a 

 Merula, and he gave a figure of it in the fifth volume of the 

 " Catalogue," adding a yellow eyelid, which is not in Forster's 

 picture. I cannot identify the species for certain (cf. Cat. B., 

 xiii., p. 276, note), but I have little doubt that it is the " Bay
