1804, p. 299), from Joanna. H. Schlegel, N. T. D. 1865, pp. 80, 87. 
Dicrurits leucops is described as a new species from Celebes, exactly like 
D. 2)ectoralis in coloration, except the irides, which are milk-white. A. R.

Artamus melanops is a new species from South Australia, most nearly 
allied to A, albiventris, but having the under tail-coverts jet-black. It is 
smaller than A. cinei'eus and has more black on the face. J. Gould, P. Z. S.

Xenopirostris damii, Pollen,” is described as a new species from the 
north-west of Madagascar, ratlier smaller than X. lafresnayi, with a white 
chin and the grey on the wings differently disposed. It is possible also that 
there may be a third species in Madagascar, provisionally named by M. Pollen 
X. albifrons. H. Schlegel, N. T. D. 1865, pp. 82-84.

The birds of this group are distributed in Africa from the 
Cape to 18° N. lat., as well as in Madagascar and the Masca- 
rene Islands, in Asia over the whole of India, the Indo-Chinese 
territories. South and Middle China (except Formosa) , the Phi- 
lippines, Sunda Islands, and Moluccas, New Guinea, together 
^ with the whole of Australia, Tasmania, Norfolk Island, New 
Caledonia, New Hebrides, Louisiades, Solomon Islands, Feejees, 
the Navigators^ and Society Islands. The centre of their dis- 
tribution may be taken to be the Moluccas and New Guinea, 
as the gi’eatest diversity of species is there to be found in the 
smallest space. The author divides the group into nine genera, 
five of which, OraucaluSj Campephagaj Owynotus, Volvocivora^ 
and LalagCy have the very characteristic stiff shafts to the rump- 
feathers, a structure wliich seems to attain its maximum in 
Oxynotus ; in Art amides and Lanicterus this peculiarity is less 
remarkable, and it appears to be altogether wanting in Fteropo- 
docys and Symmorphits. The author rejects the genus Ceblepyris, 
making it a section of the typical genus Campephaga. The 
paper contains a descriptive and synonymatic list of the sixty- 
seven species of the group, three of which are new, drawn up in 
Dr. Hartlaub^s usual admirable style.
