196 Zoology. 



= Petrosca multicolor (Gni.), founded on the Red-bellied 

 Flycatcher of Latham (Gen. Syn., ii., pt. 1, p. 343, 

 pi. 50), "in Sir Joseph Banks' collection," probably the 

 same specimen as was figured by Forster ; cf. Sharpe, 

 Cat. B., iv., p. 168. 

 " Norfolk Island, <£, 11th Oct., 1774." 

 PL 151. Tardus xanthopus, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 266 (1844 : 

 New Caledonia). 

 = Merula xanthopus (Forst.) ; cf. Seebohm, Cat. B., v., p. 

 276 ; Sharpe in Seebohm's Monogr. TurdicL, ii., p. 139, 

 pi. 126. 

 This figure represents the type of the species. 

 PL 152. Loxia oryx, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 53 (1844). 



= Pyromelana oryx (Linn.); cf. Sharpe, Cat. B., xiii.,p. 230. 

 PL 153. " Loxia pulchella." Fringilla pulchella, Forst., Descr. 

 Anim., p. 273 (1844: New Caledonia). 

 = Erythrura psittacea (Gin.); cf. Sharpe, Cat. B.,xiii.,p. 382. 

 " New Caledonia." 

 The "Parrot Finsch" of Latham (Gen. Syn. ii., part 1, 

 p. 287, pi. xlviii.) is founded on Forster's specimens. " This is a 

 most beautiful species, and was shot by Dr. J. R. Forster at 

 New Caledonia." 



PL 154. Fringilla bicincta, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 405 (1844 : 



Cape of Good Hope). 

 This is the figure on which Latham founded his description 

 of the White-cheeked Finch (Gen. Syn., ii., part 1, p. 278, 1783, 

 = Fringilla n&via, Gmelin, Syst. Nat., i., part 2, p. 911, 1788). 

 Latham says : " Inhabits the Cape of Good Hope. From a 

 drawing in the possession of Sir Joseph Banks." This is 

 Fringillaria capensis (Linn.). 



PL 154. Muscicapa clubia, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 406 (1844 : 

 Cape of Good Hope). 

 = Sphenoeacus africanus (Gm.) ; cf Sharpe, Cat. B., vii., 

 p. 95. 

 PL 155. Muscicapa ventilabrum, Forst., Descr. Anim., p. 86 

 (1844 : New Zealand). 

 = Bhipidura flabellifera (Gm.) ; cf Sharpe, Cat. B., iv., 

 p. 308. 

 "Dusky Bay, N.Z., March 28, 1773." 



A note on the plate says : " Fan-tailed Flycatcher, Lath., 

 Gen. Syn., ii., p. 340, no. 33, tab. 49, from this drawing" 

 Latham seems to have seen more than one specimen, and does 

 not specify where his type came from.
