Birds. 201 



PI. 20. Is Picoides amcricanus, Brehm. (cf. Hargitt, Cat. B., 

 xviii., p. 279). 

 "Norton Sound. W. W. Ellis ad viv. del., etc., 1778." 

 PL 21. Is Sitta europca, Linn., from " Kamtschatka. W. 



Ellis del., etc., 1779." 

 This would be the form named by Taczanowski Si tta albifrons, 

 which Dr. Hartert (Vug. Pal. Fauna, Heft iii., p. 331) recognises 

 as Sitta europea albifrons. 



PI. 22. Is apparently a figure of Todirhamphus iciglesworthi. 

 Sharpe, which is T. tutus, Sharpe et auct. passim 

 (nee Gin.), and is the same as T. veneratus (Gm.). 

 See my remarks. 



"Otaheite. W. W. Ellis ad viv. delin., etc., 1777/' 

 Latham's description was taken from a specimen in the 

 Leverian Museum, probably the very one drawn by Ellis. 



PI. 23. Is the " Respected Kingfisher," Lath., Gen. Syn., i., 

 pt. 2, p. 624 (1781). 

 = Todirhamphus tutus (Gm.) (cf. Sharpe, Cat. B., xvii., 



p. 291) = T. veneratus (Gm.). 

 "Friendly and Society Isles. Otaheitee— Erooroo. Ulietea 

 — Tautoria. W. Ellis " (no date). 

 Latham's description may have been taken from Ellis' 

 Drawing, but does not quite agree. 



PI. 24. Is Promerops cafer (Linn.) (cf Gadow, Cat. B., ix., 

 p. 283). 

 " Cape of Good Hope." 

 PI. 25. Is Prosthemadera novse-zealandise (Gm.) (cf. Gadow, 

 Cat. B., ix., p. 257). " Certhia circinnata, Forst." is 

 written in pencil on the plate. 

 PL 26. Is Moho nobilis (Merrem) (cf. Gadow, Cat., ix., p. 284). 

 "Sandwich Isles. W. W. Ellis delin. et pinx. ad viv., 

 1779." 

 Described as the " Yellow-tufted Bee-eater " by Latham 

 (Gen. Syn., i., pt. 2, p, 683 (1784)). 



= 3Tcrops niger, Gm., Syst. Nat., i., p. 465 (1788). 

 Cf Acrulocercus nobilis, Wilson and Evans, Av. Hawai- 

 enses, p. 105, pi. 40. 

 PL 27. Is Drepanis pacifica (Gm.) (cf. Sharpe, Cat. B., x., p. 5). 

 "Sandwich Isles. W. W. Ellis ad vivuin delin. et pinx., 

 1779." Cf. Wilson and Evans, A v. Hawaienses, p. 3, 

 pi. 3). 

 PL 28. Hemignathus obscurus (Gm.) (cf. Sharpe, Cat. B., x., 

 p. 4). *
