* The object of the author has appai'ently been to try to antedate the name of 
Qecinus sharpii, given in 1871 by Mr. Howard Saunders. No one has even heard 
of this paper of M. Seoano’s before, and that it could not have boon published in 
1870 is proved by a reference to the Catalogue of llirds, the first volume of which 
appeared in 1874.
