Wrote up this and, as noted above, being a specialist in Neotropical Birds, was un¬ 
familiar with the literature of such a different Avifauna, and in this essay provided 
nothing novel, but continued all the old mistakes. I pointed this out, so he published 
a supplement of corrections in Nov. Zool., Vol. XXIII., pp. 96-111, April 1916.

Hodgson, Brian Houghton. —Born 1800. Died 1S94. One of the greatest of Indian 
Ornithologists, who published many^ articles in the Asiatic Researches and the Journal 
of the Asiatic Society of Bengal and Bengal Sporting Magazine (under the 
pseudonym of “ Parbattiah ”).

Munia occurs in this essay. 
Among his papers in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal I find the following 
names which concern Australian ornithology : Hirundapiis (Vol. V.), Cuncuma, Facula 
(Vol. VI.), Dermophrys (Vol. X.), Butastur , Coccyzura and Tusalia (Vol. XII.). 
Apparently it was considered expedient in those days (perhaps due to the exigencies 
of travel) to have a painting made of the bird collected, and Hodgson collected many 
hundreds of paintings, which he named as new on the painting. These paintings and 
specimens were presented to the British Museum, and in Gray’s Zoological Miscellany 
(q.v.) appeared a Catalogue of Nepalese Birds, collected between 1824 and 1844. 
A majority of the new names are nomina nuda , being only identifiable by the 
unpublished paintings, but have been always cited in their correct association through
