The species of the genus Lvpavgm are remarked on. T. Salvador!, Atti 
Soc. Ital. Sc. Nat. vii. 4 Sept. 18G4. 
The four known species of ChasmorliyncJius are described, and C. tricarxm- 
culatus is figured. 0. Salvin, Ibis, 1866, pp. 90-95, pi. iii.

Prionocliilus atireolimlatus is a new species from North Celebes. A. R. 
•Wallace, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 477, pi. xxix. fig. 1. 
Pachyccphala hrunnea is a new species from the Banda Islands and Sal- 
watty, but the specimen from the first locality is rather lighter-coloured on 
the head and brighter on the back. A. R. Wallace, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 478. 
Pardalotus qffinis occurs also in Australia : differences in its plumage and 
that of P. punctatus and P. striatus pointed out. Nest and eggs of the latter 
described. E. P. Ramsay, Ibis, 1866, pp. 298, 299.

These observations are made in connexion with those of Ritter von Prauen- 
feld (Zool. Record, i. pp. 40, 41). 
Nest and eggs of Clielidon arhorea and C. arid described. E. P. Ramsay, 
Ibis, 1865, pp. 299, 300. Error corrected, Id. op, cit. 1866, p. 127. 
Jlylochdidm is the name proposed for a new genus to receive the Chelidon 
arhorea of Australia and another species from Timor, which are stated to nidify 
in the holes of trees without building any real nest, to liave bare tarsi, thus 
separating them from Chelidon^ and also to difler, though in what way is 
not mentioned, from Petrochclidon. J. Gould, Ilandb. B. Austral, i. p. 111. 
Layenoplastes is the name proposed for another new genus, to receive the 
Chelidon arid of Australia, and probably another species from India. The 
former builds a retort-shaped nest. What the members of the genus Jly- 
lochdidon are to the Swallows, those of the present are to the Martins, from 
which they difler in their diminutive and bare tarsi, and from the American 
llylochelidons [?] in their more feeble structirre and colouring.” J. Gould, 
Ilandb. B. Austral, i. pp. 112, 113.

. Phaioproyncy Kotiochelidon, Pyyodididony and Callichdidon are proposed 
subgenera ; the first of ProynCj the second and third of Atticoray with A. 
pilcafa and A. cyanoleuca as their respective types, and the fourth of Hi~ 
rimdoy with II. cyaneoviridis as its type. The actual type of Phceoprogne is 
not Stated 5 but P. fmea (Vieill.) and P. tapera (L.) are referred to it.

Proyne eleyans is described as a new species from Buenos Ayi’es and Brazil, 
nearly allied to P. purpurea (L.). The adult male steel-blue all over, the 
female and immature male uniform brown or greyish-brown beneath, with 
the edges of the feathers paler. It is supposed to bo the P. purpurea of 
Darwin-, B. ^ Beagle,’ p. 38. 8 . F. Baird, op. cit. pp. 274, 276, 276, note.
