Mr . R. B. Sharpe’s Catalogue of Accipitres. 487 
p. 458, as having been recently described by the late Pro¬ 
fessor S unde vail, under the title of Plangus neogceus , in CEf. 
k. Yet. Akad. Forh. 1874, No. 2, p. 28. I have no knowledge 
of this species beyond what is contained in Professor Sunde- 
valFs notice of it in the above-named periodical, from which 
I transcribe the following particulars :— 
“ Plangus , n. gen. plumis occipitis paucis oblongis, lon- 
gioribus, cristam formantibus ornatus. Cauda longior (ala 
cubitali antica paullo brevior).—Sp. unica cognita, ex Brasilia , 
magna, Aquilee sequalis, prsecedentibus* affinis; a Morphno 
prsesertim naribus oblongis, longitudinalibus distincta. Ala 
magna, lata et longa: quiescens, apice caudse paullo brevior, 
pennis cubiti anticis § alae fere attingentibus. Tarsus J alae 
cub : s aequalis; digiti longiusculi, fortes * * * * 
Plangus neogceus, nob., fuscus, gastraco toto albo, maculis 
rachidum angustis, fuscis vario, remigibus rectricibusque extus 
fusco-cinereis, maculis minutis, fuscis, crebre variis. Fascia 
caudae nulla. Ala 580 mm. Specimen unicum in Brasilia, 
prope Caldas occisum, anno 1855 attulit et Musaeo Stockhol- 
miensi donavit cl. G. A. LindbergY 
The genus Uruhitinga, to which I next propose to refer, 
should, I think, be restricted, as I have already mentioned, 
to two species, U. zonura and U. anthracina , unless U. gund- 
lachi be admitted as a third, and considered specifically dis¬ 
tinct from U. anthracina. 
I have not much to add to Mr. Sharpens account of these 
species; but it may be desirable to note that both in U. zonura 
and in U. anthracina the iris is brown. 
I may also mention that a specimen of U. anthracina from 
the Island of St. Yincent is now living in the Gardens of the 
Zoological Society ; this example was in immature dress when 
it arrived at the Gardens, but is now in full plumage, with 
the exception of a slight tinge of rufous brown on the back 
and sides of the head, and also on the tertials. I am indebted 
to the kindness of Mr. Bartlett for the following note respect¬ 
ing the moulting of this specimen, which I here insert, as it 
* The species here referred to are Uruhitinga zonura and Busarellus 
nigricollis.
