Pyrrhula rosea said to have occurred at Brighton. G. D. Rowley, Zool. S. S.

Pyrrhula cocdnca^ var. cassini, is described and figured as a variety from 
Alaska, agreeingin size and proportions with P. coccinea, De Selys, hut being 
beneath of a light cinnamon-grey, and having a white patch on the tail. It 
has perhaps the closest relationship with P. grisciventris^ Lafresn. ; but that has 
the cheeks and throat rod. S. F. Baird, Trans. Chicago Ac. Sc. i. p. 310, 
pi. xxix. fig. 1. Note on it, W. II. Dali, to7n. cit. p. 281. ‘ [Judgingfrom the 
description and figure, this appears to us to be undoubtedly a good species. 
It singularly resembles P. mnrma, Godm. (Zool. Rec. iii. p. 99.)]

Alaudid^e. 
Megalopho^ms anderssoni is described as a new species from Damaraland 
and Abyssinia, nearly allied to M. cinereus ( Vieill.) in coloration ; but tho 
rufous is continuous and not interrupted, and the spots of brownish-black 
on each side of the neck are very distinct. To this species (with which Alauda 
* splcniaia^ Strickl., A. rujicapilla, A. Smith, and A. rujiceps, Rupp., are said to 
be identical) it bears the same relation as M. afneanoides does to M. gfricanus^ 
and M. chenianus to M. sahota. II. B. Tristram, Ibis, 1869, pp. 434, 435. 
Alauda prcderniissa is described as a new species from Abyssinia. W. T.;

but has a stronger bill and shorter wings ; is also allied to A. erythropygia, 
Strickl., but is smaller, and the rufous of the rectrices differently distributed.
