General Notes.

I can find no mention in the standard works of reference or in the 
literature to the above condition of the tarsus in tlie Cotin^idcC, thongii 
the plate of Cephalopterus (jlabncoJlis in Itidgvvay’s Birds of North and 
Middle America, Part iv, 1907, pi. xxxiii, apparently indicates the pres¬ 
ence of pores on the tarsus. In this genus, however, the pores are poorly 
developed and the majority of what are apparently pores prove on closer 
examination to be merely depressions. 1 have been unable to examine 
any alcoholic specimens of the above genera, but it is to be hoped that 
some one better qualified for the task and with ample material will in¬ 
vestigate the subject. — J. H. Riley.
