rintalca teniiirnstrvf, Temm., should be called either P. alba or P. cristata, 
Scopoli. The name ‘^P. hzoniensis, Scopoli,” which seems to be an inven- 
tion of Bonaparte’s (Consp. Av. ii. p. 148), probably refers to the same 
species. A. Newton, Ibis, 1868, p. 267, note.

Ibis. It must have been the intention of the founder of this genus to keep 
in it the only species to which the name, as a common name, was properly 
applicable — the species which the old Egyptians reverenced. Accordingly 
the Tantalus cbthiopicus of Latham should be referred to the genus Ibis. J,

Phoenicopterid.®. 
Phocnicopterus rubidns is described as a new species from India, easily dis- 
tinguished from P. roseus by its smaller stature and brighter plumage, the 
whole colour being a uniform bright pink instead of rosy- white, and the 
wing-coverts, upper tail-coverts, and under surface of the wing intensely 
bright — besides some other differences. H. W. Feilden, Ibis, 1868, pp. 495, 
496. [Probably only P. minor, Temm. : T. C. Jerdon, Ibis, 1869, pp. 230-
